IPL 2026: Fans’ wait will be over! Will Dhoni take the field against DC? Fitness test will be held on this day

MS Dhoni Return News: Latest update on MS Dhoni’s injury – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is going to get the biggest boost of this season. After three consecutive defeats in IPL 2026, the team is quite worried about the availability of its biggest star for the next home match to be held in Chepauk.

According to a report by Express Sports, MS Dhoni is going to give an important fitness test in the next few days. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has not played the initial round of the tournament due to a calf strain, which has shown a clear lack in the team’s finishing power and strategic leadership.

Will MS Dhoni be able to pass the test?

This upcoming test will decide whether Dhoni is fully prepared for the big match against Delhi Capitals (DC) on 11th April. Although the team is avoiding fielding its 44-year-old superstar in a hurry, the need for his comeback has increased even more after Chennai started this season without a win.

If Dhoni passes the medical test, then it is expected that he will directly join the playing XI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. There is tremendous excitement among the fans after seeing the former captain practicing in the nets recently; In the video, he can be seen hitting big shots without any problem.

Why is Dhoni’s return so important for CSK?

The five-time champion team has faced a lot of difficulties in finishing the match in the absence of Dhoni. Even though the team is being captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad, the “Dhoni factor” behind the wicket and his ability to encourage the players in difficult moments is clearly missing.

Will CSK get double boost?

Only Dhoni is not close to making a comeback. As mentioned earlier, brilliant middle-order batsman Dewald Brewis is also in the final stages of recovery from his side strain injury. If both these players pass their respective fitness tests, then Super Kings will take the field with a strong and balanced team in the match against Delhi. Currently the team is at the bottom of the points table, so the return of “Thala” could prove to be the spark that revives their season in front of their loyal home crowd.
