MS Dhoni sets shocking condition to play for CSK in IPL 2026 ...Middle East

Dhoni missed an eighth consecutive match for Chennai this season, creating serious uncertainty around his return due to a calf strain. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team suffered an eight-wicket defeat against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at home on Sunday, April 26, which has further damaged their playoff qualification chances.

"I will say it directly. If CSK are out of the tournament, then maybe Mahendra Singh Dhoni will play. CSK are on six points and need eight points from the remaining games. If they win four matches, they still have a chance," Ashwin stated.
