Will MS Dhoni return this season? A former teammate’s bold claim has reignited talk about his comeback.
Ashwin thinks Dhoni will only return if CSK can’t make the IPL 2026 playoffs. Dhoni hasn’t played this season because of a calf injury.
Ashwin said Dhoni might only play if CSK is out of the tournament. He still thinks CSK can make the playoffs if their batting improves to match their strong bowling. But if CSK fails to qualify, then Dhoni will play.
Ashwin said CSK must win their next game to stay in the tournament. With good batting pitches and Ruturaj in form, winning four out of six matches is possible.
Is Dhoni waiting for the right time or is it a fitness issue? Some think he’ll return to lead when the moment is right.
There are still worries about Dhoni’s fitness. Reports say his condition is being watched closely before any decision is made.
What’s next for CSK fans? A dramatic Dhoni comeback or a quiet end to his legendary run?
