With the IPL 2026 approaching, MS Dhoni and his CSK stint have again begun to make headlines. MS Dhoni, who will soon be turning 45, will be available to play for Chennai Super Kings, a senior team source has confirmed. However, it seems that Dhoni will not be playing all the league matches this season. With Sanju Samson joining the team, Chennai Super Kings now have the luxury of giving Dhoni a break whenever they want.

MS Dhoni set to be managed carefully by Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026

“MS Dhoni will be coming to Chennai and will be available for the season,” the source told PTI. “At the moment, we cannot confirm whether he will play all the matches or not.” In the past few seasons, MS Dhoni has not been batting much due to the Impact Player rule. Dhoni has mostly been seen taking finishes at the end of the innings.

MS Dhoni Wicketkeeper

MS Dhoni is an Indian cricketer known for his time with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), where he served as captain and led the team to five IPL titles.

Chennai Super Kings Founded: 2008

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise that India Cements Limited owns.

CSK also have adequate options for wicket-keeping. Samson will most likely be the wicket-keeper in the matches where Dhoni is given a break. Urvil Patel is also in the team, and Kartik Sharma, who was bought for ₹14.20 crore, is being developed as a finisher, along with Shivam Dube.

Dhoni has had issues with his knees and back in the past, and wicket-keeping in two consecutive matches may not be easy for him at this point in his career. One thing that is certain is that Dhoni will play most of CSK’s home matches. The presence of Dhoni alone is enough to excite the fans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, and it is clear that he still has a very strong connection with CSK.
