Former Indian captain and Chennai Super Kings legend M.S. Dhoni has begun intensive training ahead of the IPL 2026 season, with a video of his practice session going viral on social media.
Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles, has stepped down from the captaincy on two occasions in the past.
However, circumstances had earlier prompted his return to the leadership role.
At present, Ruturaj Gaikwad is leading the franchise.
Ahead of the new season, Chennai Super Kings have strengthened their squad by bringing in Sanju Samson through a trade.
With Samson expected to take over wicketkeeping duties in the future, speculation has intensified over Dhoni’s role in the upcoming season.
Cricket circles are abuzz over whether Dhoni will feature primarily as a wicketkeeper or be utilised as an impact player in IPL 2026.
The viral training video has further fuelled excitement among fans, showcasing the veteran cricketer’s fitness focus and commitment even at this stage of his career.
