If there is any biggest mystery that remains in IPL 2026 then it is the fitness of MS Dhoni. Dhoni, who got injured just before the start of the season, has not yet come on the field. Chennai Super Kings and its fans have spent more than half the season without Dhoni. The situation is still not clear regarding Dhoni's playing and there is constant restlessness among the fans. In such a situation, amid the repeated questions being raised, a Chennai coach has even said that it is beyond his capacity to give any update on Dhoni.
Why did CSK coach give such a statement?
so far this season Dhoni Has not played a single match. Even the fans who were expecting him to play in the match against Delhi Capitals on May 5 have been disappointed. Dhoni did not go to Delhi with the Super Kings squad for this match and is working on his fitness by staying in Chennai. In such a situation, when the Chennai staff who came to the press conference before the match were questioned, they expressed their helplessness.
CSK's bowling coach Eric Simmons came to the press conference a day before the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
When asked for an update on Dhoni's fitness, Simmons said, "It is beyond my capacity to give an update on Dhoni. He is not with us here (in Delhi), but he is continuously improving. Dhoni will play only when he is completely ready and he himself will know when he is ready to play."Confusion continues regarding Dhoni
Various types of updates have been coming from Chennai regarding Dhoni, due to which there is confusion and curiosity among the fans. Chennai has played a total of 9 matches so far in IPL 2026 but Dhoni has not been a part of any of them.
He got injured 2 days before the start of the season, after which he has been out of action. But in the meantime, he has been seen batting and wicket-keeping several times in practice sessions, which has increased the hopes of a comeback. At the same time, batting coach Mike Hussey had given a statement that Dhoni does not want to tamper with the composition of the team, hence he is not going with the team.
