Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey provided an update on MS Dhoni's recovery from a calf strain, stating that the legendary cricketer is making good progress. Dhoni has been participating in net sessions but has yet to play in the ongoing IPL 2026 season. Hussey expressed satisfaction with Dhoni's batting form, emphasizing the need for him to regain confidence in his running ability to contribute effectively in the later stages of matches. CSK recently faced a setback, losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs. SRH scored 194/9, thanks to half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen. CSK's response fell short despite contributions from Ayush Mhatre, Matthew Short, and Sarfaraz Khan, leading to their current position at seventh in the points table with two wins from six matches.
