Dhoni has been seen taking part in business activities at various public events these days. Last month, he was seen playing golf with veteran cricketer Kapil Dev in Gurugram. The two also participated in the 2022 US Open together in New York. Dhoni will return back to cricketing action in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. 

The CSK legend had confirmed last season that he plans not to call it quits before playing for the Chepauk crowd in Chennai. The veteran asserted returning to play for CSK in IPL 2023 would him to say "Thank You" to fans for their support.

"Definitely. It's a simple reason: it will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you [to the fans]. Mumbai is one place where, as a team and as an individual, I have got a lot of love and affection. But it wouldn't be nice to the CSK fans," said Dhoni after winning toss against Rajasthan in their last league stage match in IPL 2022.
