Big boost for CSK: MS Dhoni likely to play first IPL 2026 game vs Mumbai Indians
Dhoni had been ruled out for two weeks before the start of the 2026 season due to a calf strain. During his absence, CSK lost their first three matches but have since won two games in a row at home. CSK's next match is against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad.
