Throughout the CSK legend's illustrious time with the team, Dhoni's parents have often avoided the spotlight and seldom attended IPL matches. As a result, their presence raised rumors that Dhoni would be leaving the league.
MS Dhoni's IPL stats demonstrate both longevity and consistent performance. Dhoni has scored 5,289 runs at a strike rate of 137.70 in 267 IPL games. He has played in 237 games for CSK alone, scoring 4,715 runs at an average of 40.30, which is impressive for someone who typically bats lower in the order.

True to Dhoni's manner, there hasn't been an official statement from the man himself despite receiving a lot of criticism for playing in the lower batting order and the team's poor strategy.
