MS Dhoni trained with the CSK squad, a day ahead of the IPL 2026 clash against Gujarat Titans in Chennai on Sunday afternoon.
As the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) prepared to take on the Gujarat Titans at Chepauk, a familiar question was ringing in the air. Will MS Dhoni take the field on Sunday? Having been sidelined for two weeks at the start of the tournament due to a calf injury, the former captain had been undergoing rehab and, after successfully completing the fitness test, even joined the squad for their away trips to Hyderabad and Mumbai this week, but didn’t start the matches with the official word from the CSK camp being that he is still on the road to recovery. But The Indian Express understands that Dhoni is fit and is only delaying his comeback because he doesn’t want to disturb a combination that now appears settled.
