MS Dhoni to Miss Next Match Against SRH? What Did the CSK Skipper Say

The Chennai Super Kings registered their second win of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 after beating the Kolkata Knight Riders by 32 runs. However, fans are still not satisfied as they are desperately waiting to see the former skipper MS Dhoni on the field.

CSK, one of the best teams in IPL, have played five matches in the season so far, and Dhoni is yet to make his first appearance. However, CSK's upcoming fixture against SRH could bring good news for the fans.

Will MS Dhoni Play Against SRH? What Did Ruturaj Gaikwad Say

The fans were awaiting about the comments of Ruturaj Gaikwad on MS Dhoni. However, during the post match presentation after the CSK vs KKR IPL 2026 match, Gaikwad didn't speak anything about Dhoni, leaving the fans scratching their heads and wondering if the star wicketkeeper-batter will play the upcoming match against SRH or not.

However, as per several reports, Dhoni has almost regained his full fitness and will be seen playing the next match. Dhoni, one of the best players in IPL, will not just be seen batting but will also be playing as a wicketkeeper, replacing Sanju Samson, who has been keeping behind the wickets till now.

The player who is likely to make way for Dhoni in the next match could be Sarfaraz Khan, as all other players are very crucial so far when it comes to their contribution. The Chennai Super Kings fans are desperately waiting for MS Dhoni comeback on the field.

CSK Move Up In the Points Table

The win against KKR has helped CSK to move to the eighth spot in the IPL points table, replacing their arch-rivals, the Mumbai Indians. Noor Ahmad was adjudged Player of the Match for his magnificent bowling figures of 3/21 in four overs.

In the first innings, Sanju Samson and Ayush Mhatre played a key role in helping the Super King to put up a fighting total on the scoreboard. The five-time champions also extended their record of the most wins against a single opponent, with 25 wins against KKR. The Men in Yellow now lead the CSK vs KKR H2H record by a massive margin. As CSK are back to their winning ways, there won't be a better time for MS Dhoni to make his return in the league and help the team to continue their winning run.
