Chennai Super Kings talisman MS Dhoni has suffered a setback ahead of his Indian Premier League setback with a calf strain that will rule him out of the first two weeks of the season, the franchise confirmed on Saturday.

CSK are set to open their campaign against the Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Monday evening.

“MS Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a calf strain. As a result, he is likely to miss the first two weeks of TATA IPL 2026. Get well soon, Thala,” CSK wrote in their statement on social media.
