In competitive cricket, Dhoni was last seen in action during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter against Rajasthan Royals on May 20. The Chennai Super Kings captain had scored 26 runs off 28 balls in that fixture as his side reached 150. However, the winners of the inaugural edition of IPL eventually emerged victorious in the clash by a margin of five wickets.

Dhoni had stepped down as Chennai skipper ahead of the IPL 2022 season. Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was appointed Chennai captain. However, Jadeja’s stint as the Chennai captain did not prove to be a fruitful one. After recording just two wins from eight games, Jadeja decided to relinquish captaincy and Dhoni was brought back as the leader of the franchise. Chennai had finished the 15th season of IPL at the ninth spot with four wins under their belt.
Dhoni is now all set to lead the Chennai side once again in the IPL 2023 season. More importantly, Chennai fans will be eager to see their captain return to their home ground as the IPL will go back to its original home and away format next year.
Chennai team management has already decided to release Dwayne Bravo, Robin Uthappa, Adam Milne, Hari Nishaanth, Chris Jordan, Bhagath Varma, KM Asif and Narayan Jagadeesan ahead of the mini-auction. Chennai have Rs 20.45 crore left in their purse ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.
