MS Dhoni's absence from the Chennai Super Kings lineup is starting to feel like a bad dream for fans. After missing the first three matches of IPL 2026 due to a calf strain, reports suggest he might be out for even longer. CSK's campaign is already looking shaky, and losing their captain is a massive blow.

With Dhoni on the sidelines, the pressure mounts on the younger players to step up. The team’s performance has been far from ideal, and without their talisman at the helm, they might struggle to find direction. Will Dhoni be able to rally back in time to make a difference, or are CSK's hopes hanging by a thread?

As the league progresses, all eyes will be on CSK's management for updates on Dhoni’s recovery. Can they weather the storm until their leader returns?
