Will Mahi play or not? There are still 7 months left for the next season of IPL, but one question that is on everyone's mind is whether MS Dhoni will play another season for CSK?

 

Mahi has been suffering from his knee pain for a long time, and even after IPL 2025, he was seen struggling due to knee pain.

 

In the 2025 season, CSK ended their journey at the bottom of the points table, but fans want to see Dhoni playing again. Meanwhile, during a recent event, Dhoni made a statement on his plan.

 

Will MS Dhoni play IPL 2026?

 

2011 World Cup winning captain MS Dhoni (MS Dhoni IPL 2026) recently participated in an event, and there he talked about his plan. He said that he has a lot of time left to think whether he will play in the IPL 2026 season or not. While talking to the host, Dhoni said,

 

"I don't know if I will play or not. I still have a lot of time to think. I have some time left till December, so I will think in a few months and then make the final decision."

 

During this, a fan shouted in the middle of the conversation and said that you have to play, sir. Dhoni then replied to that fan, Hey, who will take care of the pain in the knee.

 

Let us tell you that in the IPL 2023 final, CSK won the title by defeating Gujarat. After this season, Dhoni underwent knee surgery in Mumbai. The wicketkeeper-batsman struggled with his knee injury throughout the season.

 

He had a good long gap for rehab before the next season. In the last two seasons, Dhoni has seen batting at number 8 or 9, the reason behind which is the speed of running fast to take runs on the crease. After the knee injury, Mahi faces difficulty in running fast.
