Dhoni’s return to IPL delayed after fresh injury setback

MS Dhoni's IPL 2026 return remains uncertain after another injury setback, which delayed his comeback further. CSK coach Stephen Fleming said Dhoni is "pretty keen" to return but admitted "the calf is a tough one," revealing he "twisted it again in a warm-up game," and that recovery "has taken longer than we thought," leaving his return doubtful.
