MS Dhoni may not play at all in the current IPL 2026 season. The reason is revealed
Dark clouds are gathering over the career of Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni.
Details: On the eve of today’s high-stakes clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, it has emerged that Dhoni’s participation in the match is extremely unlikely. What’s more, there are growing fears that the captain might not set foot on the field at all during the IPL 2026 season.
The situation surrounding the player’s health is raising more and more suspicions. Despite Chennai’s management officially assuring fans for months of Dhoni’s full fitness and successful recovery from injury, the cricket icon continues to miss game after game.
The ongoing absence of the team’s leader has fans questioning the credibility of the club’s updates, with rumors swirling that management is leveraging the legend’s image to boost brand recognition and ticket sales, without disclosing the true timeline for his return.
For the record: The star of the Pakistan national cricket team has tested positive for doping.
