Mahendra Singh Dhoni has made a rather interesting revelation saying several IPL franchises had approached him ahead of the Player Retention event earlier this month.Dhoni said the thought of not coming back to CSK did not even cross his mind. “A lot of people approached me, I can tell you that. But, you know, I can’t think (of) not coming back to CSK,” the 36-year-old said responding to a question whether CSK was a natural choice for him.

Dhoni, who was retained by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), said there was no question of him playing for any team other than the yellow brigade. He also spoke about the love he has received from CSK fans through the years. The wicket-keeper batsman also applauded the team’s management for weathering a rough phase during the last couple of years.
“And as I said, it is because of everything – what we been through, how we have conducted ourselves, how the management has been, how the players have been, how the fans have been. I always keep saying, you know, it is like a second home to me. The fans have over here have literally adopted me, they accept me as their own. There can’t be a bigger compliment than that. This is a special place and that thought of being with any other franchise was never a question. So that was a very easy answer for me,” he further added.Apart from Dhoni, CSK also retained Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja.
