Ashwin Warns: Dhoni's Return Could Disrupt CSK's Momentum
With playoffs in sight, should Dhoni risk a comeback?
Ravichandran Ashwin has thrown down the gauntlet regarding MS Dhoni's potential return to the Chennai Super Kings in the 2026 IPL. With CSK currently sitting sixth and just two points shy of playoff positions, Ashwin believes that bringing Dhoni back could shake up the winning formula they’ve finally found.
CSK has strung together back-to-back victories, including a solid win over the Delhi Capitals, and the last thing they need is a disruption as they chase the playoffs. On his YouTube channel, Ashwin pointed out, "If MS Dhoni comes, then the combination will be changed. It becomes very difficult." He suggests that if CSK falters in the next few games, there might be room for a farewell match for Dhoni at Chepauk.
Despite being part of the squad, Dhoni is still nursing a calf injury and hasn't played a single game this season. With the end of his illustrious IPL career looming, fans are left wondering: will the legend get the send-off he deserves, or will he risk the team’s playoff hopes? The next few matches will be crucial.
As CSK gears up for their upcoming fixtures, the focus will be on maintaining form and ensuring that every player contributes to their playoff charge. Can they keep the momentum going without their talismanic captain?
