Tezzbuzz Desk- The IPL 2026 season has reached its halfway stage, but suspense remains regarding the return of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The fans of Chennai Super Kings were waiting for their return to the field for a long time, but the latest update has put brakes on this hope for the time being.

Dhoni was said to be recovering from a calf injury and it was believed that he would soon be seen in the field with the team. But the statement given by CSK head coach Stephen Fleming after the match against Gujarat Titans has further increased the uncertainty over his comeback.

According to Fleming, Dhoni’s calf injury, from which he was recovering, has turned out to be more serious than expected. He told that initially the team had taken precautions, but during a warm-up match the injury flared up again. After this Dhoni’s recovery process became more slow.

The coach also said that Dhoni is constantly trying to return to the field and is paying full attention to physiotherapy and rehab. However, the final decision regarding his fitness will entirely depend on him.

Dhoni has been associated with the team since the beginning of March and pictures of his batting and keeping in the nets were also revealed, which increased the expectations of his playing. But now the situation seems to be changing.

The biggest concern is that if Dhoni is not fully fit, it is possible that he may not take the field this entire season. 44-year-old Dhoni has played with injuries before, but this time the severity of the injury and the time taken for recovery has become a cause of concern for CSK.

Currently, Chennai Super Kings is waiting for his fitness update and fans are also hoping that “Captain Cool” will return to the field once again.
