Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif ruled out the possibility of CSK wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni playing as an Impact Player in IPL 2026. "Dhoni doesn't bat anyway. He is playing to keep 20 overs and to captain 20 overs. He is playing to guide the players," he said. Kaif added that the 44-year-old is in the squad to help Ruturaj Gaikwad.
