Dhoni didn't confirm his return yet, he insisted that he has ample time to take a decision on his CSK career.

"Frankly, it takes a heavy toll. I have been out of home for literally four months," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation after winning the last game of the season at Chepauk. "I will always come to CSK. We have been out of home from January, been practicing since March, so we will see," he added.

"January 31 was when I got out of the house, finished my work, and started practicing from the 2nd or 3rd of March. It takes a lot, but I have ample time to decide. I have 8-9 months to decide. Why take that headache now? I have ample time to decide. The auction is in December," the 41-year-old said.

Dhoni's former CSK teammate and the side's bowling coach Dwayne Bravo confirmed that Dhoni would return as a player in the next edition. In the post-match interview with broadcasters Star Sports, when anchor Mayanti Langer asked Bravo whether Dhoni will be seen in the coveted yellow jersey, Bravo said, "100 percent. Especially, with the Impact Player rule. It will keep prolonging his career."

"He bats really deep. I think the likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Dube... these guys make a huge difference. You don't require much from MS. But he has the ability to keep his calm when the team is under pressure," Bravo further said.
