MS Dhoni missed out on the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad due to fitness issues. However, he made a brief appearance at Chepauk to cheer for his boys.

CSK suffered a five-wicket defeat against SRH, a result that pushed Hyderabad into the playoffs, leaving Chennai's own campaign in trouble. While the match slipped away from the home side after strong performances from Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen, the atmosphere at Chepauk remained emotional even after the game ended.

A CSK home game without Dhoni in the playing XI already felt unusual for fans this season. However, during the innings break, the crowd went berserk as Dhoni walked onto the field.

The moment became one of the biggest highlights of the match.

Former CSK player Suresh Raina posted pictures with Dhoni on Instagram from the stadium. The photos featured Dhoni and Raina sharing hugs and laughs. It was captioned with a yellow heart emoji to signify the Chennai team.

Meanwhile, Dhoni is yet to play in the ongoing IPL 2026 season. Fans remain curious to know whether he will continue playing for the CSK team amid speculations over his retirement from IPL.

Reportedly, Dhoni is nursing a recurring calf injury and a reported thumb-related issue, preventing him from taking the field. However, he has remained active with the CSK team and has also been seen travelling with the team.
