Chennai Super Kings endured a highly disappointing IPL 2026 campaign. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team finished eighth in the points table with six wins and eight losses. Dhoni also missed the entire 14-match season after suffering calf and thumb injuries, marking the first time he has missed an entire season.
“It’s not good news for Dhoni and CSK fans because Chennai Super Kings have put all their activities on hold. For the auction, coaches, selection, and even rejection, they need either a coach or a mentor. And for one of these two positions, they still want Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s approval. In other words, it won’t be anyone else; it will be MS Dhoni himself.”

CSK Searching for New Head Coach After Stephen Fleming’s Exit
CSK mutually parted ways with head coach Stephen Fleming. The former New Zealand captain had a 19-year association with CSK, first representing the franchise as a player in the inaugural 2008 season before becoming head coach in 2009.
CSK also face the challenge of rebuilding after missing the IPL playoffs for three consecutive seasons from 2024 to 2026. The five-time champions finished eighth after winning only six of their 14 matches during IPL 2026.
MS Dhoni’s IPL 2025 Numbers Before 2026 Injury
