Fans around the world are excited to watch MS Dhoni play again soon. The former Chennai Super Kings captain has arrived in Chennai and has started preparing for the Indian Premier League 2026 season. The five-time champions registered an unwanted record in the previous edition of the tournament by finishing at the rock-bottom of the points table. Dhoni, among a host of other CSK stars, were seen arriving in Chennai on Saturday ahead of IPL 2026, for which the BCCI is yet to unveil the official schedule.

The team had a net session on Sunday, where several players practiced batting and bowling to warm up for the big tournament. 44-year-old Dhoni will be the oldest uncapped player in the tournament, although it has been indicated in the recent past that he might not play all the matches following Sanju Samson’s trade to CSK from RR.

The team added a total of nine players to their squad in the auction that concluded late last year. Among the stars who the 5-time champions have recruited are uncapped stars Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer, both of whom are the joint highest-paid uncapped players so far in the history of the IPL. Other stars include the prolific Sarfaraz Khan, former SRH spinner Rahul Chahar, West Indies’ Akeal Hosein among others.
