A few days back, reports claimed that the Super Kings are waiting for the Retention rules to be announced. It is understood that only once the rules are out will the franchise take a call on Dhoni over should they retain him or not. Another factor that could play a role in Dhoni's participation in the league is his fitness. It is no secret that the legendary cricketer has been struggling with his knee over the past two seasons. Raina making such a claim will hold value because of his closeness with the former CSK captain. Known popularly as 'Mr. IPL ', Raina was a vital cog in CSK's wheel for a long time. The swashbuckling southpaw was associated with the franchise since the start and played a key role in their several IPL title wins as well.  Dhoni, who led CSK to five IPL titles, stepped down as the captain of the side in the previous season. Ruturaj Gaikwad led the Super Kings in IPL 2024. Dhoni is easily one of the best to have played cricket in this era and without a doubt, the best to have led the country.  Dhoni, who led CSK to five IPL titles, stepped down as the captain of the side in the previous season.
