Will MS Dhoni Play Today Against DC: Today (05 May) the 48th match of IPL 2026 will be played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The match will start at 7:30 pm. Before the match, only one question is arising in the minds of the fans, will CSK legend MS Dhoni play today’s match? Here you will get a very direct answer to this question.
Chennai has played 9 league matches in the season. The team will take the field for the 10th match against Delhi. Dhoni is still yet to play the first match of the season. Fans are eagerly waiting for Dhoni’s return. The thing to note is that Mahi is seen practicing in the nets, which is giving hope to the fans.
Will MS Dhoni play against Delhi today?
Chennai bowling coach Eric Simmons shared the latest update on Dhoni’s return. A day before the match, Simmons said, “It is beyond my understanding to give an update on Dhoni. He is not with us (in Delhi). He will be ready when he is ready and he knows when he is ready to play.”
Dhoni not coming to Delhi with the team clearly means that today he will not be a part of Chennai’s playing eleven in the match against Delhi. Fans will have to wait longer for Dhoni’s return.
MS Dhoni’s injury
Mahi is struggling with calf injury. While sharing an update on March 28, i.e. the day of the beginning of the season, the franchise had said that he may remain out for 2 weeks. Now more than a month has passed, but Dhoni has not returned. Chennai has not officially given any other update regarding Dhoni. Now it will be interesting to see when he returns.
