Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend MS Dhoni continues to be a massive draw, with his recent public appearance highlighting his enduring appeal among fans. Dhoni, who is set to return for the IPL 2026 season, remains a pivotal figure for the franchise, especially for integrating new talent.
CSK recently invested heavily in uncapped players, including Kartik Sharma, who secured a significant auction bid. Sharma expressed immense excitement about the prospect of sharing the dressing room and the field with the iconic former India captain. For young players, the opportunity to learn from Dhoni is often cited as a career-defining moment.
Dhoni's involvement ensures that the new generation of CSK players benefits from his vast experience and leadership, maintaining the strong team culture that has defined the franchise's success.
