Dhoni's IPL Return Delayed: CSK Fans Face Extended Wait Due to Calf Injury

• Mahendra Dhoni's return to IPL 2026 for Chennai Super Kings is delayed due to a calf injury.
• Initially expected to be out for two weeks, a new report suggests Dhoni might return only in the last week of April.
• This means Dhoni will miss almost half of the IPL season for CSK.
• CSK's first match is against Rajasthan Royals on March 20, where Sanju Samson will likely take over wicketkeeping duties.
• This is widely believed to be the 44-year-old Dhoni's final IPL season; he has led CSK to five titles.
