MS Dhoni's return to action
It is understood that CSK's team management has left the decision completely to him. If not against MI on April 23, then Dhoni might finally return to action against the Gujarat Titans on April 26. This would mean that what was initially reported as a 'two-week absence' can now potentially grow into MS Dhoni being unavailable for literally half the season.
In Dhoni's absence, Sanju Samson has taken the wicketkeeping gloves for CSK. But his form with the bat has been flaky as well. In 6 matches, Samson has made 192 runs with a high score of 115* and has not managed to pass 50 in any other innings. Although he has teed off with a healthy strike rate of 175.
CSK's upcoming schedule
Chennai Super Kings have won just two of their six matches in IPL 2026 so far. This means that every upcoming fixture is crucial for them if they have to qualify for the playoffs.
CSK will play the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on April 23 next and then host both the Gujarat Titans and MI on April 26 and May 2, respectively.
