For the fourth time in IPL 2026, Ravi Shastri asked Ruturaj Gaikwad where MS Dhoni was. The answer on Saturday was the most specific yet — and CSK finally got their first win of the season.
Sanju Samson smashed 115 off 56 balls for CSK against DC, becoming the first batter to score IPL centuries for three franchises. Ayush Mhatre's retirement at 59 off 36 balls split the internet.
Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 7 runs and took full blame for CSK's 43-run loss to RCB in IPL 2026. It's the seventh straight defeat as CSK captain and their worst start in years.
MS Dhoni has no confirmed return date as CSK suffer a third straight IPL 2026 defeat. Ruturaj Gaikwad says Dhoni is "getting back slowly" while CSK extend their losing run to seven.
MS Dhoni has been ruled out of CSK's opening IPL 2026 matches with a calf strain — and CEO Kasi Vishwanathan confirms Sanju Samson will keep wickets in his absence.
Former India opener Sadagoppan Ramesh believes Ruturaj Gaikwad should have been included in India's New Zealand ODI squad in place of Nitish Kumar Reddy, questioning the need for a fifth seamer.
