As he has already become a mentor for Virat Kohli’s Team India for T20 World Cup, his role as a mentor for CSK in IPL 2022.
“You will see me in yellow but whether I will be playing for CSK, I don’t know. There are a lot of uncertainties around it for the simple reason that we have two new teams coming up. We don’t know the retention policy. We don’t know how many foreigners, Indian players we can retain, the money cap that every player will be cutting from the kitty. So there are a lot of uncertainties. Unless the rules are in place you can’t really decide that. So we will wait for it to happen and hopefully, it will be good for everyone,” MS Dhoni told Danny Morrison at the toss on Thursday.
