Chennai: With Chennai Super Kings (CSK) staring at an early exit from IPL 2026, speculation surrounding MS Dhoni’s future has once again taken centre stage.
The veteran wicketkeeper-batter, retained as an uncapped player ahead of the season, was expected to mentor CSK’s next generation. However, injuries ruled him out for the entire campaign.
As CSK prepare for their final league match, Dhoni is yet to take the field with either bat or gloves, leaving fans wondering if they have already seen the legendary skipper in yellow for the last time.
When questioned about Dhoni’s future, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming remained tight-lipped, stating that the decision ultimately rests with the franchise management.
