Chennai Super Kings’ veteran MS Dhoni touched hearts off the field by interacting and taking photos with the ground staff at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium before their IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In a video shared by CSK, Dhoni is seen warmly engaging with the groundsmen, showcasing his humility and respect for their contributions.
Despite not playing in any IPL 2026 matches due to a calf injury, Dhoni joined the team for the first time this season before the SRH clash. Fans were thrilled to see him bat in the nets, displaying good form and power-hitting. His participation in the upcoming match remains uncertain.
Known for his consistency, Dhoni has amassed 5,439 runs in 278 IPL appearances, maintaining an impressive average of 38.30 and a strike rate of 137.45. With 24 half-centuries and a top score of an unbeaten 84, he ranks sixth in the list of all-time leading run-scorers in the tournament.
Chennai Super Kings have bounced back after a slow start in IPL 2026, securing consecutive victories over KKR and Delhi Capitals. Despite this resurgence, they currently hold the eighth spot in the standings. The five-time champions aim to maintain their winning streak and climb higher in the table with another strong performance.
