Chennai Super Kings are staring down a must-win situation in IPL 2026, and all eyes remain firmly on one man: MS Dhoni. The legendary wicketkeeper-batter has been sidelined with a calf injury since the cricket tournament began, leaving CSK without their biggest match-winner at the most critical time of the season.
Fleming’s Big Update
CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has acknowledged the progress, stating, “Dhoni is working hard to get back.” However, Fleming stopped short of confirming his availability for the DC match, keeping CSK fans guessing about an official return date.
The mood around the CSK camp has visibly lifted in recent days. Dhoni has been spotted training in the nets, looking comfortable at the crease and hitting the ball cleanly.
Fan videos circulating on social media show MSD in fine touch, sparking widespread belief that a return could be imminent, possibly as early as the DC clash or the upcoming KKR fixture.
Despite the encouraging signs from the nets, CSK have not officially cleared Dhoni for selection. His return remains entirely dependent on the medical team’s final call and every CSK fan will be watching closely.
I believe CSK will not rush him back for the DC game and may wait until the KKR match, as pushing him into action too soon could worsen the injury.
