At 42, as two-time World Cup-winning former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni gears up to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming Indian Premier League, the big question is who will take his place in the future. Interestingly though Dhoni’s former India and CSK teammate Suresh Raina wants him to continue playing in the IPL for another five years.

“It’s important now to see how Dhoni plans for the future. He’s 42 years old. I would love to see him play for five more years, or at least two or three more years, but the biggest question is who’ll be CSK’s next captain? Even if Dhoni stepped away as captain, he’ll be in the dugout whether it’s as a mental toughness coach or just for his presence. But the question is who is he going to nurture? This is a pivotal year for CSK,” Raina told JioCinema.
