CSK coach Stephen Fleming gave a cryptic response on the veteran’s availability next season, while fans await clarity on whether Dhoni will return or retire.
As MS Dhoni retirement speculation grows ahead of CSK’s final home game against SRH, Sunil Gavaskar says he would be “surprised” if the former captain returns after over a year away from competitive cricket.
MS Dhoni is progressing well from a calf injury and could return soon, says CSK batting coach Michael Hussey.
Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni remain doubtful for the MI vs CSK IPL 2026 El Clasico at Wankhede as both teams look to climb the points table in a crucial mid-season clash.
MS Dhoni is set to miss the first two weeks of IPL 2026 due to a calf strain, dealing a major blow to CSK, while Ravichandran Ashwin reveals his predicted playing XI.
Ashwin share insights around his mental strength that came to his rescue to stay strong especially, when he was made to sit on the bench during the 2011 World Cup, or the 2013 Champions Trophy.
Dhoni's brilliant glovework has many a time turned the fate of the match on its head and the stumping he did in the 2016 T20 World Cup against Bangladesh is a living example of that.
The 35-year-old added that he has learnt a lot from Dhoni's leadership and also from CSK coach and former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming.
Under decorated former India captain Dhoni, CSK have reached the play-offs in all the seasons they have played, winning the crown on three occasions.
Calling Dhoni the best finisher he has played with, Du Plessis said no one can emulate what the dasher from Ranchi can do with the bat.
