IPL 2026, CSK vs DC Today Match: MS Dhoni is unlikely to feature in Chennai Super Kings’ Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday, April 11, 2026, as the veteran wicketkeeper-batter continues his recovery from a calf injury.
Dhoni has not played in the early phase of the tournament after being ruled out of the opening weeks with a calf strain. While the 42-year-old has recently resumed training and spent time in the nets, he is yet to regain full match fitness.
According to recent reports, Dhoni is nearing a return but is not expected to be available for the clash against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The team management is likely to target the fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 18 for his comeback, subject to fitness clearance.
There has been no official confirmation from the franchise regarding his availability, and a final call is expected closer to the toss. As of now, Dhoni remains doubtful for the match against Delhi Capitals.
