"He's The Boss Of Chennai": Dale Steyn Weighs In On MS Dhoni's IPL Future

IPL 2021: MS Dhoni has led Chennai Super Kings to three IPL titles in the past. IPL 2020 was the first time when CSK failed to make it to the playoffs.

Chennai Super Kings have already qualified for the playoffs of IPL 2021 and captain MS Dhoni's leadership is being hailed for this turnaround in the team's fortunes. But Dhoni's lack of form with the bat is something which has not gone unnoticed. He has failed to make any significant contribution with the bat and questions are being asked about whether he should retain himself ahead of the mega auction next year or not.

Former South Africa speedster Dale Steyn was asked a question about Dhoni's CSK future on ESPNCricinfo's 'Polite Enquiries'.

"Do you think MS Dhoni will retain himself next year for CSK looking at the current form he is in?" is the question that a Twitter user had asked. To this Steyn responded by saying that Dhoni could be back on the field if he can take his team to the title.

"He is the boss of Chennai. When you think Chennai, you think MS Dhoni. And you know what? They've got a couple of games left and they are almost into the finals. But we haven't seen Dhoni do anything. If he smashes the winning runs in the final, you can guarantee that he will be taking the gloves for Chennai in next year's IPL," Steyn said.
