IPL 2026: Gavaskar on MS Dhoni playing CSK vs SRH clash, says “Doubt he’d want to take such a risk”

Chennai: Ahead of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that having MS Dhoni feature in the match could be a "gamble", adding that the wicketkeeper-batter would not like to take such a risk at this stage, having missed the entire season due to calf strain.

Dhoni, who was ruled out for two weeks due to a calf strain before the season, has not shown up the entire season and has not featured in any competitive cricket for a year as an IPL-exclusive player. With CSK having two matches against SRH and later GT as crucial to their playoff chances, it would be interesting to see if Dhoni comes into the playing XI or does not disturb the combination at all.
