Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simons on Monday (May 4, 2026) said that M.S. Dhoni has not travelled for the away game against Delhi Capitals, though he is steadily improving after not playing a game this season due to a calf injury.

More than half the season is done with CSK set to play their 10th game in what has been an underwhelming campaign. Like every season since his international retirement, there is immense speculation over the future of the 44-year-old Indian great in the IPL.
