Dhoni future for CSK and team India!
Dhoni is playing one of the last few seasons in the IPL before retiring from all formats of cricket altogether; following this role is it expected that MS will take on the role to become a part of the coaching staff for Chennai in the next few seasons.
Additionally MS is expected to continue his role of mentor for India in major tournaments like the world cup; the last time he acted as a mentor was in the T20 world cup. However, despite having the superstar as their mentor the men in blue had an extremely disappointing cup. Now under Rahul Dravid, they will focus on bettering selves in the next T20 world cup which will be hosted by Australia!
