The CEO of the Chennai team, Kasi Viswanathan, now has made a big statement about Dhoni's future as a player. Viswanathan believes that Dhoni will play a few more seasons for the franchise before retiring. “I don’t think it will be his last season. As long as he is fit, we want him to play. That is my wish, I don’t know about him, ” said Kasi Viswanathan as quoted by Zee news.

The CEO further said that he respects Dhoni's decision to step down as captain as it is taken in the best interest of the franchise. “See whatever decision MS takes it is in the best interest of the team.
