Will he? Won't he? The next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is still seven months away, but the one question lingering on everyone's minds is whether MS Dhoni will turn up one more season for his franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK)? The long-time talisman has been battling knee pain season after season, but still, he has kept the five-time champions at the top of his priority list. CSK finished at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2025. Hence, it remains to be seen whether Dhoni turns up one more season as a player. The 2011 World Cup-winning captain made an appearance during an event recently, and it was there that he spoke about his future plans, saying there is still a lot of time left for him to decide whether he will play the IPL 2026 edition or not. “I don't know whether I'll play or not. I have time to decide. I have some time until December, so I'll take another couple of months, and then finally, I can make my decision,” said Dhoni while interacting with the host. It was then that a fan jumped in, shouting, “You have to play, sir.” It was then that Dhoni responded in his own witty style, saying, “Arre, ghutne me jo dard hota hai uska take care kaun karega (The pain I have in my knees, who will take care of that)?” Right after the IPL 2023 final, which CSK won by beating the Gujarat Titans, Dhoni underwent knee surgery in Mumbai. Throughout the season, the wicketkeeper-batter had been managing a knee injury. He ensured the season got over before undergoing surgery to allow for a longer rehabilitation period before the start of the IPL 2024 edition. In the last two editions of the IPL, Dhoni has been batting lower down the order, and the main reason has been his decreasing speed between the wickets. It has been attributed to the knee surgery he underwent. Dhoni steps in as captain In the IPL 2025 season, Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out midway through the tournament due to a hairline fracture in his elbow. Hence, MS Dhoni stepped in as the stand-in skipper.

Written by Atharva Jori Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre; 66-foot) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these exchanges. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...

It is played on a square board containing 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as White and Black, each control sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns; each type of piece has a different pattern of movement.
