    The uncertainty surrounding the future of former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has been continuing for some time now. While his status for Team India is unknown, it is being believed that he would be playing the upcoming IPL to keep himself in contention for the ICC World T20 this year. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) owner, N Srinivasan, has confirmed Dhoni's fate until 2021.

    CSK looking to retain Dhoni for a lesser price

    As far as Dhoni's retention for IPL 2021 is concerned, it could be a strategic move by CSK. As of now, Dhoni earns Rs. 15 crore per season. However, aged 38, he might not be as effective in the format. Therefore, considering the long-term plan for the side, CSK could be looking at retaining him for a lesser price during the next mega auction.

Dhoni is not traveling to New Zealand for the T20Is, while it is unknown whether he will participate in the ODI series that follows.
