Despite announcing his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020, Dhoni continues to play in the world\u2019s richest franchise cricket league, and he is all set to play in the IPL next year as well. According to Dhoni\u2019s IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO Kasi Viswanath, the former India captain is not going to retire and will play in the 2026 edition of the 10-team tournament.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Viswanath made the big reveal in a recent video shared by Provoke Lifestyle on YouTube. Kasi was asked a couple of young boys about Dhoni\u2019s retirement, to which he replied by saying that the 44-year-old is not retiring.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cNo, he is not going to retire,&#8221; Kasi said in the first video, and \u201cNo, he is not retiring for this (2026) IPL&#8221; in the second.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">When asked, \u201cWhen will Dhoni retire?&#8221; Kasi said, \u201cI will ask him and get back to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">He was also asked if CSK will win the IPL title next year, to which he said, \u201cWe are ready, but we don\u2019t know whether we will be able to win. But we will try our best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">In the 2025 edition of the IPL, CSK could only manage to win four out of 14 league matches and, as a result, finished at the bottom of the points table for the first time in 18 seasons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Ahead of the IPL 2026 season, CSK are expected to make multiple changes to their squad. Ravichandran Ashwin, who was signed for more than Rs 9 crore by the Chennai-based franchise last year in the mega auction, has already retired from the IPL, and they are likely to part with the likes of Devon Conway, Deepak Hooda and Vijay Shankar as well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">When asked, \u201cWhich new player are you (CSK) going to get in your team?&#8221; Kasi said, \u201cThat we can know only when the auction register comes out. That will be known by the first week of December.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-55348184 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chennai [Madras], India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-55348184 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 05, 2025, 21:21 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-55348184 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> &#8216;He Is Not Going To&#8230;&#8217;: CSK CEO Gives Big Update On MS Dhoni&#8217;s Participation In IPL 2026<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
