Veteran Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player MS Dhoni is prone to miss the primary two weeks of IPL 2026, as he’s recovering from a calf strain as well.
The news was confirmed by the Chennai Super Kings on the morning of the IPL 2026 opener that Dhoni is undergoing rehabilitation for a calf injury, and is probably going leaving the team without their star player for the initial a part of the tournament.
Notably, Chennai Super Kings’ first match is against Rajasthan Royals on March 30 in Guwahati as well.
MS Dhoni is the most-capped player within the history of the IPL
MS Dhoni, who turns 45 this 12 months, is certainly one of 4 wicket-keepers within the CSK squad, together with Sanju Samson (who was traded from Rajasthan Royals), Kartik Sharma, and Urvil Patel. With 278 matches, MS Dhoni is essentially the most capped player within the history of the IPL.
Over the previous few years, MS Dhoni has been playing within the IPL only. Nonetheless, he has also been coping with a knee injury, but he has been a continuing presence within the CSK team, having led them to their fifth title in 2023 as well.
Meanwhile, in the primary two weeks, during which MS Dhoni is prone to miss, CSK will play against Punjab Kings (home), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (away) and Delhi Capitals (home), aside from their season opener against Rajasthan Royals as well.
