Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are performing well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have played 8 matches in the tournament so far, winning three out of them. Chennai Super Kings hold sixth spot in the points table with 6 points.
However, there’s good news for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans in the middle of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach, Michael Hussey gave a major hint about MS Dhoni’s return to the squad.
“Hopefully he’ll be back as soon as possible. I don’t know if it’s tomorrow or maybe the next match after that, but he’s progressing really well. I know he’s been upping his running speeds and that was probably the sticking point.”
“I think we’re very confident from a skill perspective with his batting and his wicket-keeping. But it was just making sure that he could maintain good running power, particularly towards the back end of an innings where he’s going to have to scamper those ones and twos.”
“So as soon as he’s got the confidence in his calf, then I’m sure he’ll give it the tick to be ready to go. And so we’re kind of guided by him at the moment.”
“But we’re waiting. I think all of Chennai’s waiting. All the fans are waiting and hoping. We’re just waiting for him to sort of say, ‘Yep, okay, I’m confident in my leg now.”
