More than 50 matches have been played in the IPL 2026 tournament, with about two weeks left for the league stage to end. There are question marks over Chennai Super Kings going into the playoffs. But till now there is no trace of MS Dhoni. Only 4 matches are left for CSK in the league stage and the ‘Yellow Army’ is still eagerly waiting to see Dhoni. The next match of Chennai Super Kings will be with Lucknow Super Giants on 10th May. Before that, a video has surfaced in which MS Dhoni is seen practicing.

Dhoni bowled

MS Dhoni has recently been seen practicing batting and wicketkeeping on some occasions. Now he has been seen practicing bowling. He bowled spin with short run-up and a smile was also seen on his face. According to reports, not being able to run fast has been a big problem for him. This is one of the main reasons why Dhoni has not played a single match in IPL 2026 till now.

Before the match against Delhi Capitals, Chennai bowling coach Eric Simmons had said that it is beyond his understanding to give an update on Dhoni. He definitely gave this update that no date has been decided yet for Dhoni’s return. Well, CSK team had defeated Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets.
