"You'll see me in yellow next season but whether I'll be playing for CSK you never know," Dhoni told former New Zealand paceman Danny Morrison.

"There are a lot of uncertainties coming up, two new teams are coming, we don't know what the retention rules are and so on," the CSK skipper added.

The 40-year-old has been appointed the mentor of the Indian cricket team at the T20 World Cup 2021 beginning later this month. If one goes by Dhoni's statement on Thursday (October 7) afternoon, the CSK might well be considering a similar with CSK next season.

'Thala' Dhoni had earlier made it clear that he intended to retire in front of Chennai fans in Chepauk by playing his farewell IPL game there.

"You will still get that opportunity to bid me farewell. Hopefully, you will come to see me in Chennai where I will play my last game and I can meet all my fans," Dhoni told his fans in a virtual interaction conducted to celebrate 75th anniversary of India Cements.

Meanwhile, coming back to IPL 2021, Dhoni revealed that it was tough to maintain his fitness after the T20 league was postponed in May due to COVID-19 pandemic in India. "It's tough to maintain fitness. The postponement of the IPL always meant there will be more games in short period – no concerns as such personally. We are playing with the same XI. Heat is always a factor, we would've batted first even if we won the toss," Dhoni said after losing the toss to KL Rahul.
