CSK Fans Heartbroken as MS Dhoni’s Latest Statement Raises Doubts Over IPL 2026 Return

MS Dhoni has finally opened up on his IPL future.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are having a very tough time in IPL 2025. They have played nine matches so far but managed to win only two. With this poor performance, CSK are sitting at the bottom of the points table and are already out of the playoff race.

Adding to their problems, their regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad got injured and missed games. As always, fans are now curious about one big question — will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2026?

Recently, famous commentator Danny Morrison asked Dhoni about this during the toss at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Morrison joked and said that looking at the crowd’s huge love, it feels like Dhoni will come back again next year.

To this, Dhoni gave a funny but interesting reply. He laughed and said,

“I don’t know I’m coming for the next game (laughs).”

This reply from Dhoni has now started fresh talks among fans. Some feel he may not continue next season, while others are hopeful that the CSK legend will return one more time.

Right now, Dhoni has not given a clear answer. But his words suggest that he is still thinking about his future and has not made a decision yet.

For now, CSK fans will have to wait and watch if Thala Dhoni will wear the yellow jersey again in IPL 2026.
