CSK wants to bring back an old rule to classify Dhoni as an uncapped player.
The rule allowed retired international players to play as uncapped if retired for 5 years.
CSK can retain Dhoni without using a capped player slot, allowing them to build a stronger team.
Other franchises are not happy with CSK's proposal.
Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran strongly opposes the idea.
Opponents argue that such a rule would undervalue Dhoni's market worth.
Will the BCCI accept CSK's proposal? The cricket world waits.
