Yes, Indian cricketer M.S. Dhoni is playing for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). In November 2025 CSK retained Dhoni on its team ahead of the annual IPL auction. Dhoni, who was one of the most successful captains of the Indian cricket team during his international playing career, has won five IPL titles with CSK in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. In March 2026 Dhoni was injured during pre-season training and was unable to play in the first two weeks of the tournament.
