Dhoni will play for Chennai in IPL 2026, says franchise CEO
Gulf Today
|November 08, 2025
Indian cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni is set to play in the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), said franchise CEO Kasi Viswanathan on Friday.
-
Dhoni, who has been synonymous with CSK since the league's inception in 2008, was back as their captain midway through the 2025 IPL, after newly-appointed captain, opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, was ruled out of the competition due to an elbow injury.
It was a season to forget for CSK as they finished at the bottom of the points table with just four wins from 14 matches. “He is likely to play, that is the (current) status. We have a feeling that he will play in this upcoming IPL,” Viswanathan told IANS on Friday.
Barring the franchise's suspension for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Dhoni has been a constant person in the CSK setup. A return for IPL 2026 will mark his 17th season with CSK and 19th overall in the competition.
