'Knees me jo dard hota hai uska kaun...': MS Dhoni responds to fan's ‘you have to play in IPL 2026' request
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. Will MS Dhoni play IPL 2026 for the Chennai Super Kings? (HT_PRINT) 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. Also Read: Ravichandran Ashwin tells CSK he wants to quit the IPL franchise; decision final after MS Dhoni, Gaikwad meet 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. However, he was unable to change the fortunes, as the five-time champions finished at the bottom of the table. Dhoni and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been meeting with the CSK officials in Chennai recently to discuss the strategy ahead of the IPL 2026 season. It is being reported that Ravichandran Ashwin has informed the franchise about his intention to part ways and find a new home. Ashwin had a poor IPL 2025 season, picking up just seven wickets in nine matches.

Rumesh Pathirage stuns Sachin Yadav to secure World Championship qualification
Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathirage stunned home favourite Sachin Yadav to secure direct qualification for the World Championships on Sunday, August 10. It was one and done for young Pathirage, who set the standard with his very first throw of the event, landing a massive throw of throw not only fetched him direct qualification into the World Athletics Championships this year, but also had the field reeling. The Indian trio of Sachin Yadav, Yashvir Singh and Rohit Yadav, expected to perform well in the event, simply failed to catch up on the was the second time that Rumesh performed in front of an Indian crowd. In July, he participated in the Neeraj Chopra Classic, where he bagged the bronze medal. He had sneaked into third place, going past Sachin Yadav, who finished in fourth place. Sachin, who is seen as the next big thing in Indian javelin after Neeraj Chopra, struggled from the very start in Bhubaneshwar's humid conditions. In the pre-event press conference, Sachin had revealed that he had suffered an ankle injury at the Neeraj Chopra Classic, which might have taken its toll Tour: Men's Javelin StandingsRumesh Pathirage: 86.50mShivam Lokhare: 80.73mS Ranasinghe: 80.65mRohit Yadav: 80.35mSachin Yadav: 79.80mYashvir Singh: 78.53mThe failure in the men's javelin was a bummer for the crowd as this event was expected to be the crowd-puller. While the men's failed to secure the top spot in javelin, India's Annu Rani, showed signs of returning to sensational form on Sunday. Annu, freshly back from her top show in Poland, showed that her first 60+m throw was not a fluke, by putting in yet another stunning throw at the Kalinga Stadium. Annu's 62+m throw saw her win gold in the event, helping her add valuable ranking points ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo.- Ends

WTC latest points table after New Zealand thrashes Zimbabwe, India's current position is...
New Zealand's overwhelming victory over Zimbabwe in Bulawayo by an innings and 359 runs grabbed attention for its dominance but does not affect the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 points table, and thus has no direct impact on India's current position. This is due to Zimbabwe's exclusion from the WTC cycle, despite being a full member of the ICC. Only the top nine Test teams as of March 31, 2018, were eligible to compete in the tournament when it started in 2019. Afghanistan, Ireland, and Zimbabwe were left out and are still not part of the competition. The nine participating teams in the tournament are Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. India ranks third on the WTC points table With a points percentage of 46.67, India ranks third on the WTC table after the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy series. With 43.33, England is in fourth place, just behind. With a perfect 100 points from their first games, Australia holds the top spot, followed by Sri Lanka with 66.67. At this point, New Zealand's outcome has no bearing on India. The WTC 2025–27 campaign, which starts in December with a three-Test home series against the West Indies, has not yet begun for the Kiwis, who won the first 2019–21 cycle. New Zealand secured overwhelming victory over Zimbabwe But the Bulawayo match was historic. After declaring themselves at 601 for three, New Zealand easily defeated Zimbabwe twice, with Zak Foulkes taking five wickets in the second innings to secure the third-largest innings victory in Test history. Although this won't affect the current WTC standings, performances like this serve as a reminder that when New Zealand enters the competition, they could become one of India's toughest challengers on the way to the 2027 final.
