MS Dhoni has so far missed seven games for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026 due to a calf strain, including the match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.

MS Dhoni's return for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians on April 23, 2026, hinges on his fitness after a calf strain. He has been training intensely, showing progress, with a final decision to be made before the toss.

At No. 5, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been remarkably effective in the IPL, averaging 46.1 from 74 innings at a strike rate of 145.2, which underlines why CSK still view him as a genuine middle-order game-changer rather than a symbolic presence.

We all know MS Dhoni the cricketing legend. That’s established history. But have you noticed what the former skipper has been up to off the pitch lately? He’s quietly been serving up an absolute masterclass in menswear.

MS Dhoni, 44, is yet to feature this season as he continues to recover from a persistent calf injury.

CSK share big Dhoni injury update as comeback nears, but a key concern still leaves fans wondering what’s next?
