# Shivam Dube seeks CSK exit; Dhoni future unclear: report 2026-08-07T11:53:11+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet All-rounder Shivam Dube reportedly wants to leave Chennai Super Kings before the IPL 2027 auction, according to RevSportz journalist Rohit Juglan. Dube feels underutilised as the Impact Player rule has limited his all-round role, having bowled only nine overs in the last three seasons. His batting returns also dipped from 396 runs in 2024 to 270 in 2026. RevSportz also claims CSK are considering a foreign head coach after three consecutive seasons without a playoff berth. MS Dhoni's future remains unclear, with no decision on whether he will play, mentor, or step away. CSK and Dube have not confirmed these claims. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com Tags: Chennai Super Kings, coaching changes, IPL 2027, MS Dhoni, Shivam Dube Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/shivam-dube-seeks-csk-exit-dhoni-future-unclear-report/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
