"When Dhoni is playing in the IPL, people keep talking about when is he retiring. In my mind, I am like, 'thoda aur bhaiya'," said Samson, who plays for the Rajasthan Royals i the IPL.

Dhoni retired from Test cricket in 2014, while he bid adieu to international cricket in August 2020. Since then, speculation over the five-time IPL-winning captain's club career has been rife. Following his international retirement, Dhoni's cricket appearances have been limited to the IPL.

In IPL history, the 43-year-old Dhoni ranks as the sixth-highest run-scorer, amassing 5,243 runs through 264 matches and 229 innings. He maintains an average of 39.12 and a strike rate of 137.53, with 24 half-centuries to his name.
Prior to the coming IPL season, CSK retained Dhoni's services as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore. The IPL introduced a regulation before last year's auction that permitted teams to keep players in the uncapped category if they hadn't participated in international cricket for five years.
