IPL 2026: Neither retirement, nor played even a single match, what is MS Dhoni’s plan? Suresh Raina revealed his conversation with ‘Mahi’

IPL 2026: Chennai Super Kings Playoff in IPL 2026 Is standing on the verge of being out of the race. Yesterday, CSK had to face defeat by 5 wickets at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad. On the other hand, fans were hoping that former captain MS Dhoni would be seen playing in this match but again it could not happen. Dhoni was definitely seen with the team in the last home ground match of CSK but did not play.

On the other hand, there was speculation that Dhoni might retire from IPL today but that did not happen. Now some fans hope that Dhoni will definitely be seen playing in the IPL next year. However, only time will tell. But Dhoni’s teammate and former CSK player Suresh Raina has revealed the talks about his playing in IPL 2027.

What was Suresh Raina’s conversation with Dhoni?

Suresh Raina told on Star Sports that “Next year you will have to come again, IPL 2026 was a missed call which I do not count. On this he told me that my body is getting weak now, but I said that we do not believe in it, you will have to play next year. Although it is his personal decision but I felt positive from his side and maybe the team would also want him to play next year.”

In fact, during the CSK and Sunrisers Hyderabad match held in Chepauk on May 18, Suresh Raina was also present there and was also seen laughing and joking with Thoni. Dhoni has been seen practicing many times during IPL 2026 but due to not being fit, he could not play a single match. Now it is expected that Dhoni will not play even in the last match of CSK to be held in Ahmedabad.

CSK lost by how many wickets?

If we talk about the match, CSK, batting first, scored 180 runs losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. Devald Brevis played the highest innings of 44 runs for CSK. No other batsman could score more runs. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad disappointed once again. Only 15 runs were scored from 21 balls from his bat.

The target of 181 runs set by CSK was achieved by Sunrisers Hyderabad by losing 5 wickets in 1 over. For Hyderabad, Ishan Kishan batted brilliantly and scored the highest innings of 70 runs, due to which CSK had to face defeat by 5 wickets.
