MS Dhoni Hits Big Shots in CSK Nets as Preparation for IPL 2026 Intensifies
MS Dhoni has been spotted actively training in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) nets, signaling his preparation for what is widely anticipated to be his final IPL season in 2026. A video shared by the franchise showed the veteran wicketkeeper-batter in full flow, facing bowler Syed Khaleel Ahmed and demonstrating his signature power-hitting.
Dhoni was seen executing powerful pull shots off Khaleel's shorter deliveries, sending the ball to the square leg and mid-wicket boundaries for a four and a six off consecutive balls. Although Khaleel eventually dismissed him, the footage confirmed that Dhoni is focused on maintaining his fitness and explosive batting ability.
This visual confirmation of Dhoni's intense training regimen is a major boost for CSK fans, who are eager to see the iconic finisher perform at his best in the upcoming tournament, especially following significant squad changes ahead of the auction.
