MS Dhoni’s injury raises concerns for Chennai Super Kings ahead of their crucial match against Mumbai Indians on May 2, 2026, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Dhoni aggravated a calf injury and is unlikely to play. His absence could impact CSK’s performance as they sit sixth in the points table with six points.
Mumbai Indians currently struggle in eighth place with only four points. The last encounter saw CSK thrash MI by 103 runs.
Key player updates:
- Rohit Sharma is not expected to be available for the match.
- Quinton de Kock is also doubtful for the game.
- CSK’s predicted playing XI includes Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube.
- MI’s predicted playing XI includes Quinton de Kock, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah.
The availability of Quinton de Kock remains uncertain. Both teams aim to improve their standings in IPL 2026.
