IPL 2020: MS Dhoni in CSK

MS Dhoni has been on a sabbatical break from international cricket since the 2019 World Cup in England. The former Indian captain’s return to professional cricket was one of the most talked-about aspects of the IPL 2020 season. However, the ongoing coronavirus crisis has prompted the tournament to be indefinitely postponed.

During the IPL 2020 trading and transfer window, MS Dhoni became one of the 20 cricketers to be retained by CSK. The right-handed batsman was retained for ₹15 crore (US$2.1 million) by the franchise for the now-postponed IPL 2020 season. MS Dhoni, who made his CSK debut in the inaugural 2008 edition, has led them to three IPL titles. Under Dhoni’s leadership, CSK lifted the coveted trophy in the 2010, 2011 and 2018 editions.
