Chennai : In a good news for Mahendra Singh Dhoni fans, Chennai Super Kings has said that they will use their first retention card for the skipper. 

Speaking to ANI, a CSK official said the first retention card at the auction will be used to retain the captain of the ship. “There will be retention and that is a fact. The number of retentions isn’t something we are aware of yet. But honestly, that is secondary in MS’ case because the first card will be used for him. The ship needs its captain and rest assured he will be back next year,” the official said.

Recently, MS Dhoni had expressed his desire to play his farewell match in Yellow dress in Chennai.

He said after the final: “Again I’ve said it before, it depends on BCCI. With two new teams coming in, we have to decide what is good for CSK. It’s not about me being there in top-three or four. It’s about making a strong core to ensure the franchise doesn’t suffer. The core group, we have to have a hard look to see who can contribute for the next 10 years.”

Under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings lifted the IPL trophy for the fourth time as they won the final match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.
