Former India captain MS Dhoni has dropped a subtle hint about his potential future in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 45-year-old Dhoni, who has been a key figure in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for many years, revealed that he would need to pass a fitness test before December to determine if he can play in IPL 2027. Dhoni suffered fitness issues during the entire IPL 2026 season, mainly due to a problem with his calf.
He humorously expressed the responsibility on the shoulders of the team's medical staff to ensure he remains in top form for another season. Despite his reduced role in the batting lineup, Dhoni remains one of the highest run-scorers in IPL history with 5,439 runs in 278 matches. He led CSK to five IPL titles and two Champions League T20 titles during his tenure as captain. However, CSK has struggled to replicate that success since Dhoni stepped down as captain in 2023.
