While there were several speculation which suggested that Dhoni might be playing his last IPL in 2022, after having equalled Rohit Sharma's record for having the most number of IPL trophies as a leader, he announced that he would be back for another season. He said that even though the moment after winning the IPL would be the perfect one to announce his retirment, he wants to return for another season for his fans.

Dhoni struggled with a knee injury throughout IPL 2023. However, he did not miss a match for his side. Once the IPL concluded, Dhoni opeted for a surgery in Mumbai. Even though the cricketer did suggest that IPL 2023 wasn't his last as a player, a final call on his participation in the next year's tournament would depend on how well he recovers from the injury and whether his body is ready for the exertion of another packed season of the IPL.
