MS Dhoni hints 2026 could be his final IPL season

As per multiple reports, the 2026 season is expected to be MS Dhoni’s final IPL campaign, largely due to ongoing knee issues. Dhoni himself addressed his fitness concerns at the ‘Roar 26’ fan event held at Chepauk Stadium, admitting that “it is on the way down.”

The age and fitness-related problems have prompted him to move down the batting order, allowing him to focus on delivering powerful, match-turning hits in the death overs.

In a total of 278 IPL appearances, Dhoni has amassed 5,439 runs at an average of 38.30 and a strike rate of 137.45. His tally features 24 fifties and a top score of 84 not out, making him the sixth-highest run-scorer in IPL history.

Five-times champions Chennai Super Kings, who have made crucial changes in their line-up, will be keen to bounce back after a couple of underwhelming seasons. The team now has its sights set on a record sixth IPL trophy.

CSK will kick off their IPL 2026 campaign against Rajasthan Royals on March 30 in Guwahati. According to the schedule released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the first phase of the tournament will run from March 28 to April 12, which will feature 20 matches across 10 cities.

During this period, CSK will also host home fixtures in Chennai against Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, aiming to build momentum early in their quest for IPL 2026 glory.
