MS Dhoni, captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is likely to make his return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) next week after recovering from a calf injury. Sources from CSK indicate that Dhoni's rehabilitation is on track, and he could be available for the match against the Mumbai Indians on April 23 at Wankhede Stadium or the rescheduled game against the Gujarat Titans on April 26 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Dhoni suffered the injury during practice just a week before the IPL season began, which sidelined him for the first three weeks of the tournament. While CSK will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, Dhoni will not participate in that match as he continues his rehabilitation. He has been seen batting at the nets, focusing on his range hitting. Once fully fit, it will be interesting to see how CSK utilizes him, especially since Sanju Samson has been performing wicketkeeping duties in Dhoni's absence and may continue to do so, with Dhoni potentially taking on the role of an 'Impact Player.'
