Scandal in the IPL! MS Dhoni may leave CSK for good after clash with club
Indian cricket legend and former Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is sensationally missing today’s crucial IPL 2026 clash against the Gujarat Titans.
Details: The official reason for the star veteran’s absence is reported as injury. The coaching staff confirmed that 'Thala' suffered a thumb injury, is currently recovering, and is not yet ready to take the field. However, he has promised to rejoin the squad for the playoffs, should the team make it that far.
But behind the scenes of the official medical reports, a much bigger fire is raging. Reports suggest the relationship between Dhoni and the Chennai management has deteriorated to a critical point.
The current IPL 2026 season is set to be the legend’s last in the club’s iconic yellow jersey—with CSK bosses this year essentially sidelining Dhoni from key decisions. This has deeply upset the veteran and led to a serious internal rift.
