MS Dhoni rejects Impact Player role, keeping CSKs 2027 IPL future uncertain
Mahendra Singh Dhoni will not play as an Impact Player in future IPL seasons. He prefers to remain a full-time wicketkeeper for the entire duration. Subramaniam Badrinath feels the Impact Player role could benefit Chennai Super Kings tactically. Dhoni's fitness concerns continue to fuel speculation about his IPL participation. His decision affects Chennai Super Kings' planning for upcoming seasons.

Won't Play As Impact Player: Ex-CSK Star Drops Big Hint On MS Dhoni's IPL Future
Former Chennai Super Kings batter S Badrinath has revealed that MS Dhoni does not see himself taking the field as an Impact Player.
He Told Me He Won't Play As Impact Player: Badrinath Reveals Dhonis Stance On CSK Role
Former Chennai Super Kings: Former Chennai Super Kings batter S Badrinath has revealed that MS Dhoni does not see himself taking the field as an Impact Player, saying the former India captain personally conveyed his preference to continue as a full-time wicketkeeper despite questions surrounding his role ahead of the Indian Premier League 2026 season. Dhonis future and potential role have emerged as major talking points for CSK following another campaign in which the franchise failed to make the playoffs. With concerns over his physical workload continuing, Badrinath said using Dhoni selectively could offer the five-time champions a tactical advantage, although the veteran wicketkeeper has made his own position clear. He has personally told me that he wont play as an Impact Player. He sees himself as a full-time keeper, and that means he has to be on the field for the full 20 overs. So he wont play as an Impact Player, but I feel if he does, itll tactically benefit CSK, Badrinath said on his YouTube channel. His body cannot withstand long durations, which even Fleming has said. He is only going to bat after the 16th over and keep wickets. When his participation is so less, he would be ideal as an Impact Player, he added. The former CSK player also weighed in on the wider debate surrounding the Impact Player rule, particularly its perceived effect on Shivam Dubes opportunities as a bowler for the franchise. Badrinath rejected the suggestion that the rule itself was responsible for Dube not bowling regularly for CSK. Shivam Dube bowling for India but not for CSK is not because of the Impact Player rule. It has to do with the CSK management and their lack of usage of Dube with the ball. Why are they using him as an Impact Player? The rule cannot be blamed, Badrinath stated. Badrinath also questioned the teams handling of Akeal Hosein, arguing that the spinner should be an automatic selection in the starting XI rather than being kept in reserve as an Impact Player. Shivam Dube bowling for India but not for CSK is not because of the Impact Player rule. It has to do with the CSK management and their lack of usage of Dube with the ball.

Captain Tilak's Unbeaten Fifty Leads South Zone Into Duleep Trophy Final
Captain Tilak Varma: Captain Tilak Varma hit an unbeaten half-century to lead South Zone to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over North Zone in the 2026/27 Duleep Trophy semi-final and secure their place in the title clash, where they will take on East Zone. Set a target of 181 on the final day of the semi-final at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) Ground 2, South Zone completed the chase of 181 with ease, anchored by Varmas unbeaten 51 off 79 balls. The skipper followed up his crucial first-innings marathon of 116 not out with another commanding display of batting, while partnering with Ravichandran Smaran (32 not out) in an unbroken 80-run fourth-wicket stand to seal the win. South Zone will now face the Ishan Kishan-led East Zone in the final starting on September 6 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The clash marks the first time the two sides have met in the tournaments title clash since the 1970/71 season final. North Zone began the day hoping to set a challenging target, but their lower order was quickly unravelled by South Zone pacer MD Nidheesh. The right-arm bowler claimed the final three wickets to finish with figures of 5-56, his 10th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, to bowl out North Zone out for 286 in their second innings. Souths chase got off to a positive start as opener Ricky Bhui set an aggressive tone early by scoring a crisp 42 to whittle down the target. However, left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Abid Mushtaq briefly dragged North Zone back into contention just before and after lunch. After Gurnoor Brar dismissed Bhui, Mushtaq took out Shaik Rasheed before getting Narayan Jagadeesan stumped on 43 and leave South Zone momentarily wobbling at 102/3. Despite the pressure, Varma stepped up to stabilise the innings once more alongside Smaran, the top run-scorer of the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy season. Souths chase got off to a positive start as opener Ricky Bhui set an aggressive tone early by scoring a crisp 42 to whittle down the target.

Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharths first home together in Chennai offers a glimpse into their shared life and individual personalities. Spread across 4,000 square feet on the 18th floor, the apartment combines expansive city views with an eclectic mix of art, patterns, vintage pieces and personal memorabilia. The Chennai residence already had a distinctive aesthetic that appealed to the couple. Designer Pavitra Rajaram later helped personalise the space, adding elements that reflected Aditi and Siddharths tastes while maintaining the apartments existing character. For Aditi, the home is closely connected to her appreciation for beauty and everyday living. She enjoys following the movement of sunlight through the rooms and has a clear idea of how beautiful objects should be used rather than simply displayed. Recalling something her aunt once told her, Aditi said, Beautiful things are not meant to be kept in cupboards, they should be used. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Architectural Digest India (@archdigestindia) Siddharth, meanwhile, particularly appreciates the apartments sense of continuity. He describes its long throw as his favourite feature, referring to the way the different areas of the home flow into one another. The layout creates an open and connected feel across the residence. The more private corners of the apartment reveal the couples individual preferences. Aditi had a specific vision for the principal bedroom, opting for a four-poster bed surrounded by plenty of patterns. Elsewhere, the foyer and passages feature a vintage Turkish runner, a teakwood study desk, a Burmese lacquer box, a cast brass butter lamp and vintage Japanese woodblock prints. The couples art collection, built over time, adds another layer of personality to the home. Rather than resembling a carefully staged showroom, the apartment has been designed to feel lived-in, personal and connected to their experiences. More about Aditi and Siddharth Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth tied the knot on September 16 in the presence of their family and close friends. The couple held their intimate wedding at a 400-year-old historic temple in Wanaparthy. Besides Chennai, they also own homes in Mumbai and Hyderabad. On the work front, Siddharth was last seen in Operation Safed Sagar, which has been receiving a positive response from audiences. The series also features Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Verma, Dia Mirza, Prajakta Koli, Adil Hussain, Mihir Ahuja, Taaruk Raina, Arnav Bhasin and Amrita Bagchi in key roles, among others.
