Chennai, November 13, 2025 — Speculation around MS Dhoni’s role in IPL 2026 has intensified after a former cricketer suggested that the Chennai Super Kings legend might play as an Impact Player if Sanju Samson joins the franchise. The ex-star clarified that Dhoni, who has been managing a knee issue, “might not play the full season” but could still contribute strategically and in crucial moments.
Reports indicate that CSK could be eyeing a leadership transition, with Samson potentially being groomed as Dhoni’s successor. However, insiders claim Dhoni’s presence—both as a mentor and finisher—will remain vital. Fans are already buzzing with excitement as CSK gears up for what could be a defining season in 2026, blending youth with the iconic leadership of Thala Dhoni.
