Delhi: There is a bad news for the fans of Chennai Super Kings. Actually, MS Dhoni will not even play in the match against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday, May 5. Dhoni has not traveled to Delhi with the team. He is staying in Chennai to get his leg treated. Due to this, there is now a fear whether he will be able to play the remaining matches of this season or not.

Dhoni will not play even against DC

Dhoni not going with the team makes it clear that he is not completely fit to play the match right now.

Let us tell you that due to calf injury, he has not played a single match so far in IPL 2026. However, the team management is still hopeful. A senior official of Chennai Super Kings said that Dhoni can make a comeback in the next matches of the season. He said that the possibility of Dhoni playing is not over yet.

How many points does CSK have in the points table?

This news has come at a difficult time for the fans of Chennai.

At present, his team is in danger of being out of the playoff race. Chennai is currently at sixth position in the points table, it has won only 4 out of 9 matches. Now CSK has only 5 matches left in the league stage and to reach the playoffs the team will have to win at least 4 more matches.

After the match with Delhi Capitals on May 5, Chennai also has to face teams like Lucknow, Hyderabad and Gujarat. The coming matches are going to be very difficult and in such a situation the team may miss the absence of an experienced player like Dhoni. CSK’s hopes of reaching the playoffs this time are negligible, because the top four teams in the tournament are standing on the threshold of qualifying for the playoffs.
