MS Dhoni is playing his 18th straight IPL season, 16 of these representing Chennai Super Kings .

The 43-year-old is the oldest player in the tournament this year , though not the oldest to have played in the IPL .

Dhoni holds the record for most IPL matches as captain ( 210 ) and most wins ( 123 ) He has scored 5,243 runs in 18 IPL seasons , sixth on the all-time run list.

The wicketkeeper's strike rate of 137.53 ranks behind only de Villiers and Warner ( 139.68 ).

For CSK , keeping Dhoni in the squad is a no-brainer for the franchise.

Dhoni offers massive commercial and branding benefits to both the franchise and the IPL .

The IPL may limit opportunities for young players, both Indian and overseas, but Ravi Shastri dismisses this argument.

Former India opener Robin Uthappa warns rivals: "We could still see some old magic".
