The answer is not confirmed yet, but nothing has been ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>Dhoni travelled with the CSK group to Hyderabad on Thursday, which has kept the door open for a possible appearance. When the team landed at the city\u2019s airport, supporters gathered in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the former captain.
