IPL 2026: MS Dhoni keen But Another Calf Setback Delays Comeback, Informs Fleming

Indian Premier League: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has indicated that MS Dhonis return to the playing XI for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has been further delayed after the veteran wicketkeeper-batter suffered another setback in his recovery from a calf injury. Dhoni, who was initially expected to miss only the opening two weeks of IPL 2026, has now been sidelined for nearly a month, with CSK already eight matches into their campaign without their talismanic former captain featuring even once. Providing an update after Chennais defeat to the Gujarat Titans on Sunday, Fleming revealed that the 42-year-old aggravated the injury during a practice outing, complicating what was initially thought to be a short-term issue. He's pretty keen. The calf is a tough one, though; if he takes off and rips the calf again, then he will be gone. So we pushed it early, in the warm-up game, he tweaked it again, it's my understanding, and since then he has been just working hard to get some movement into it, but there was a setback, so it has taken longer than we thought, Fleming said while addressing the media after CSKs loss to GT on Sunday. Despite his absence from match action, Dhoni has remained involved in training sessions. He has frequently been spotted working on his batting in the nets, largely focusing on throwdowns, although he has gradually increased his workload in recent days. On Saturday, he was seen sprinting under the supervision of the team physio before spending time facing spin bowlers as well as deliveries from batting coach Michael Hussey. The former CSK skipper was also seen donning the wicketkeeping gloves during the teams practice at the Wankhede Stadium ahead of their clash against the Mumbai Indians last week. Fleming emphasised that the final call on Dhonis comeback rests with the player himself, while the support staff continues to monitor his progress closely. He is the guide on this one, and he's working hard with the physio and doing all the rehab, and we're just waiting for the word, really. But all I can keep saying is stop making light of it, as he is progressing and doing everything he can, Fleming added. Fleming emphasised that the final call on Dhonis comeback rests with the player himself, while the support staff continues to monitor his progress closely.

IPL 2026: Sudharsan Is A Kind Of Player Who Can Give Maximum Reward With Minimum Risk, Says Gill

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill heaped praise on opener Sai Sudharsan after his match-winning knock, highlighting the youngsters ability to maximise returns with minimal risk following their emphatic eight-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Sudharsans fluent 87 anchored a clinical chase of 159, continuing his impressive run this season and drawing special appreciation from his skipper. He's been batting brilliantly. Even in the innings that he got out in the middle, he was batting beautifully. So with him, it's always a matter of spending that much time on the wicket. And once he's set, he is that kind of player who can give the maximum reward with minimum risk, and that's his advantage, Gill said after the win. Gill also expressed overall satisfaction with the teams performance in challenging conditions, noting the significance of securing a convincing win at a venue known for testing visiting sides, as he said, Really happy. To get a win like that here is always difficult in this part of India, so I'm really happy with the win. While GT dominated for most of the contest, Gill admitted there were minor lapses, particularly in the field during the latter stages of the first innings, saying, Yeah, apart from the last four or five overs of fielding, I think it was a pretty good effort from us out there. The GT skipper further elaborated on the decision-making at the toss, revealing uncertainty over how the pitch would behave, before crediting his bowlers for maintaining control during the powerplay, a phase where the team has consistently excelled. Actually, I was a little bit confused whether to bowl first or bat first on this wicket. But I think we bowled pretty well in the Power-play, and Power-play has been one of the areas where consistently we have done well. And if I have to be really critical, finishing the innings has been a little bit of concern for us, and hopefully, in the upcoming matches, we improve on that, he said.

IPL 2026: It Was A Challenging Pitch, We Couldnt Adapt To The Conditions, Says Gaikwad After CSKs Loss To GT

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that his side struggled to adapt to challenging pitch conditions as they slumped to an eight-wicket defeat against the Gujarat Titans in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Reflecting on the surface, which offered variable bounce and inconsistent pace, Gaikwad highlighted how difficult it was for batters to settle in despite initial plans. To be honest, sometimes I hate to assess in that way, but I felt it was challenging. I was holding a bit for the pacers; the pace was inconsistent, and the bounce was up and down. But if we hadn't lost too many wickets, we could've reached 170-180. Not expected to be honest, it's tough to assess the conditions here. In the last three matches, we learned how the game would play out. We had a 60-70% chance in the last two or three games, but we didn't expect it to play like this today. We just couldn't adapt to the conditions, Gaikwad said after the game. CSK, who eventually posted 158/7, had to recover from early setbacks after losing wickets in clusters. Gaikwad pointed out that the inability to adjust quickly to the surface proved costly, particularly during the Power-play and middle overs when partnerships were crucial. Elaborating on his communication with the team management during the innings, Gaikwad revealed that even a proactive approach could not overcome the pitch's unpredictability. In the first timeout, I told Flem that I was trying to be positive and aggressive. But at times, the ball popped out with an inconsistent bounce. I told him I was trying to adapt, but it wasn't possible. You couldn't judge, and you couldn't expect it to turn out well. We were lethargic and didn't start well, but we needed to do better, Gaikwad said. Despite the difficulties, the CSK skipper anchored the innings with a composed knock, finishing unbeaten and attempting to steer the side towards a competitive total. However, he acknowledged that wickets at regular intervals disrupted momentum and forced a change in approach. I got off to a good start (10 off 6), I thought I would keep the momentum, but then we saw 3 wickets fall while we were trying to build a partnership. Another wicket fell, and I wanted to take my time. For any other pitch, I might've rotated the strike better. Once I got hit, I just thought I would take my chances and get some momentum back, he said.

IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsans 87 Powers GT To 8-wicket Win Over CSK

Chennai Super Kings: A dominant top-order performance led by Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler helped Gujarat Titans chase down a 159-run target against hosts Chennai Super Kings with remarkable ease, sealing an eight-wicket win with 20 balls to spare at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Chasing 159, Gujarat got off to a brisk start despite some early discipline from the Chennai bowlers. Gill looked in fluent touch from the outset, striking three sixes in his 33 off 23 balls, while Sudharsan complemented him well as the duo stitched together a quickfire opening stand. The Titans raced to 55/0 in the Power-play, but soon after, Gill was stumped off Noor Ahmad, courtesy sharp glovework from Sanju Samson. However, any hopes of a Chennai comeback were quickly extinguished as Sudharsan and Buttler took control. The left-hander continued his rich vein of form, bringing up a 33-ball fifty and targeting both spin and pace with authority. Buttler, after a watchful start, grew in confidence and found boundaries at crucial intervals, ensuring the required rate never became a concern. The pair added a decisive partnership, with Sudharsan particularly severe on Akeal Hosein, smashing multiple sixes to tilt the contest firmly in Gujarats favour. Some missed chances by the fielders only added to Chennais woes as the Titans batters capitalised fully. Sudharsan eventually fell for a superb 87 off 46 balls, laced with four boundaries and seven sixes, after a brilliant catch in the deep by Dewald Brevis. By then, however, the result was a mere formality. Buttler remained composed till the end and fittingly finished the chase in style, hammering a straight six to seal the win. Earlier, CSK had posted 159, recovering well after a disastrous start. The pitch offered variable bounce, making strokeplay difficult in the first half of the innings. Their top order struggled to get going against disciplined bowling, but a crucial middle-overs revival helped them reach a fighting total. Shivam Dube played a key role in that recovery, stitching an important partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad. The duo focused on batting deep after early setbacks, rotating strike effectively before accelerating towards the end. Dubes approach against pace, in particular, helped Chennai regain momentum on a surface where timing the ball wasnt easy. Despite their late surge, Chennais total proved inadequate against a clinical Gujarat batting unit. The Titans top three once again showcased their consistency and firepower, chasing down the target with minimal fuss and reinforcing their reputation as one of the most formidable batting line-ups in the tournament. With this comprehensive victory, GT returned to winning ways after back-to-back losses, while CSK were left to reflect on missed opportunities.

IPL 2026: Plan Was To Bat Deep And Try To Get Boundaries In The Middle, Says Dube After CSKs Sluggish Innings Vs GT

Gujarat Times Shivam Dube: Middle-order batter Shivam Dube acknowledged that a sluggish start hurt Chennai Super Kings batting effort but felt the side recovered well to post a competitive total against Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Reflecting on the innings after the first half, Dube pointed out the contrast between the slow start and the eventual finish. The first 10 overs, we did not have a good start, but after that, we came to 159, an amazing score. 159 is one of the best scores I feel over there. It's not easy with the fast bowler as well as with the spinner, he told the broadcasters. CSK had struggled early on, losing wickets in the powerplay and finding run-scoring difficult on a surface that offered assistance to both seamers and spinners. Dube elaborated on the pitch's nature, highlighting its uneven behaviour. The ball is not coming evenly. It's up and down, especially with the fast bowlers. Holder was bowling really well. Arshad bowled really well. It was coming fast and coming slow as well, he said, referring to Jason Holder and Arshad Khan, who kept the CSK batters in check during the middle overs. Amid the challenging conditions, Dube stitched a crucial partnership with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad to stabilise the innings. He explained that their focus was on batting deep rather than taking undue risks early. At that time, we wanted both of us to bat at least till 15-16 overs. That was more important. So that was the plan at that time to bat deep and try to get those boundaries in the middle. That was more important. The left-hander also spoke about his evolving approach against pace bowling, an area he has been working on to expand his game. At that time, we wanted both of us to bat at least till 15-16 overs.

Indian Premier League: Sanju Samson etched his name into the record books by becoming the fastest Indian, in terms of balls, to reach 5,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, achieving the milestone during Chennai Super Kings clash against Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. The 31-year-old achieved this milestone impressively by hitting Kagiso Rabada for a boundary in the second over. However, Rabada had the last laugh, dismissing Samson for 11 off 15 balls later in the fourth over. Samson is now the 10th overall batter to surpass 5,000 runs in IPL history, reaching the mark in just 180 innings (185 matches). It took him 3555 balls to reach this milestone, making him the fastest Indian to do so by balls faced. Only a few global stars have reached this milestone faster in terms of balls faced, with AB de Villiers leading. Throughout his IPL career, Samson has played for Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals (formerly Delhi Daredevils), and CSK, and has also captained Rajasthan. His IPL journey started in 2013, and he has become one of the leagues most reliable performers. Among the elite 5,000-run club, Samson joins notable players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, K.L. Rahul, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, and Ajinkya Rahane. Samsons consistent performance is evident in his IPL career stats: 5,008 runs, an average of 31.69, and a strike rate of 140.59, including 31 fifties and five centuries. Notably, three centuries were scored while batting at No. 3 or lower. His main association remains with Rajasthan Royals, scoring 4,027 runs in 149 matches with an average of 31.70, including two centuries and 23 fifties.

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan opened up on how adapting to the ever-evolving demands of T20 cricket has become central to modern batting, emphasising the importance of versatility and situational awareness as he reflected on his approach at the top of the order. Speaking ahead of Gujarat Titans clash against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Sudharsan, coming off a century in the previous outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, underlined his batting philosophy. As a team, me and Shubhi (Gill), we are focusing more on percentage cricket. We'll try and keep and push the team as much as front as possible. And what that means for us is giving them a very good base when they come in in 14th or 15th over, he told the broadcasters ahead of the toss. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation. So I think I've focused on that and looking to play the situation rather than thinking this strike-rate I have to play. More focused on the situation and the conditions what is required. Sudharsan also spoke about returning to a familiar venue and the emotions attached to the venue. I'm catching up with them (family and friends) after the game, but very, very grateful and happy to be back at Chepauk. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation. So I think I've focused on that and looking to play the situation rather than thinking this strike-rate I have to play. More focused on the situation and the conditions what is required. Also Read: Live Cricket Score On the conditions in Chennai, the left-hander appeared unfazed by the heat. It's actually not so hot. It's okay. And we practise day in, day out in this heat. So, we used to be, we have to be adapted to this. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Urvil Patel Comes In For CSK As GT Opt To Bowl

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl against hosts Chennai Super Kings in the 37th fixture of the IPL 2026 here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, in the first match-up of the double header Sunday. At the halfway stage of the tournament, both CSK and GT are evenly placed with three wins and four losses from seven matches, making this clash important for momentum and standings. CSK head into the game high on confidence after a dominant win over Mumbai Indians, powered by Sanju Samsons unbeaten 101 and a four-wicket haul from Akeal Hosein. Back at Chepauk, where they have won two of three matches, CSK will look to continue their strong home form. In contrast, GT are under pressure after back-to-back losses to MI and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite a century from Sai Sudharsan. While their bowling remains a strength, concerns over an inconsistent middle order persist as they aim to regain form. Winning the toss, GT skipper Shubman Gill said, We're gonna bowl first. It looks like a good wicket. On a wicket like this, it's good to have a total on the board. (The heat is) not that bad. A good bit of breeze going on, so hopefully it wouldn't be too tough on our bowlers. We're doing a lot of the things right. It's just about winning the small moments and I think in bowling when we're leaking runs, we are leaking too many runs in that period of three to four overs. So it's just about hitting that length ball consistently in the middle overs. And that's what the talk has been about. Honestly, if the wicket is nice (in the powerplay), that is our talk. If the wicket is well, get 70-80 in the powerplay, get as many actually in the powerplay but it's very important to assess the conditions and if the wicket is a 170-180 wicket, really you got to assess that as well because I think at the end of the day, it's important to play the conditions rather than something that has not happened. One change, Arshad is coming back in the squad. Meanwhile, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, It's a bit on the drier side and more often than not, it will remain the same, so we're batting first really well and wouldn't mind putting on the score again and defend it. The confidence is high looking at the margin of the runs that we won the last game. But again, this game starts fresh, starts from zero. We have to start assessing how the pitch is, bat accordingly, and then try and defend it. But obviously, confidence-wise, we are slightly getting better and better in terms of overall unit. It's just that one or two areas where we need to click, we need to fire, and we'll get better on from that. I've been getting starts and not able to convert it. It's very rare, to be honest, but it doesn't quite happen that often. But as I said, as long as I'm getting starts and as long as someone else is doing the job and we are getting over the line, it's fine. But whenever I feel, I'm there, I'm set, and I feel that today's my day, and I'll have to make sure I'll make it count, and I'm confident with that. We just got one change, Urvil comes in, and we'll play around with the impact player.
