There was an uproar as soon as Mahendra Singh Dhoni entered the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai before the IPL 2026. The entire ground echoed with slogans of ‘Mahi-Mahi’. A female fan was brought to tears at the sight of Thala, which made the scene even more special.
CSK organized an event called ‘Roar 2026’, in which former legendary players were seen together. The viral video on the team’s X account showed Dhoni’s entry into the stadium, where the noise of the spectators reached sky high. Some fans looked emotional.
There is speculation that this could be Dhoni’s last season. In the program, Michael Hussey hit fours and sixes off the ball of Ruturaj Gaikwad. While Ambati Rayudu was batting, Dhoni was seen keeping everyone laughing while keeping wickets. Stars like Matthew Hayden, Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, Lakshmipathy Balaji and Muralitharan were also present.
CSK finished at the bottom in IPL 2025, winning only 4 matches. Now a new beginning with Sanju Samson under the captaincy of Ruturaj. Samson’s 321 runs and Player of the Tournament award in the T20 World Cup impressed everyone. First match against Rajasthan Royals on 30 March. The expectations of the fans are high.
