'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.

The team that plays spin the best will win the women's World Cup: McMillan
Former New Zealand all-rounder Craig McMillan, the current assistant coach of the New Zealand women's cricket team, said that the focus of the 10-player group currently training at the CSK High Performance Centre (HPC) is on batting effectively versus spin bowling, as scoring runs against spinners will be the key in the upcoming women's World Cup (Sep. 30 to Nov. 2) in India and Sri Lanka. 'We've brought ten players over with the focus being on playing spin bowling, because that's going to be a major emphasis during the World Cup. It's an opportunity to try and upskill the girls as quickly as we can,' he said at the CSK HPC ground on Saturday. Five of the ten players - Brooke Halliday, Jess Kerr, Georgia Plimmer, Maddy Green, and Isabella Gaze - played against India in the three-match ODI series in Ahmedabad in October. On New Zealand's chances of winning the World Cup, he said: 'It's going to be a tough World Cup. There are a number of good teams. India, obviously, will go in as favourites with the team they have and their performance in England recently. The team that plays spin the best is probably going to be the team that goes on to win the World Cup. It's going to be a big factor.' Speaking about Shubman Gill's captaincy in the recently concluded Anderson-Tendlukar Trophy, he said: 'To me, he looks like he's gonna be a good captain. He will get better with experience. And he's the future. So, India will invest in him. 'He will get to know his team's game, which I think is really important - the style of play. How does India want to play? Under Virat Kohli, everyone knew how India played. They were aggressive. They were at the opposition. That might be a little bit different because of his personality for Gill. But he's got to work that out for himself with the coach and decide what sort of style India wants to play.'

David and Hazlewood shine as Australia beat South Africa by 17 runs in T20I series opener
Tim David's blistering power-hitting and Josh Hazlewood's incisive bowling spell set up helped Australia secure a record ninth consecutive T20I victory with a 17-run win over South Africa in the series opener at Marrara Stadium on Sunday. Australia were in trouble at 74/6, but David struck 83 off 52 balls, where he mixed strike rotation with trademark six-hitting to rescue the hosts' innings. He also shared a seventh-wicket stand of 59 with Ben Dwarshuis, as Australia made a competitive 178 in 20 overs. For South Africa, teenaged pacer Kwena Maphaka claimed his career-best figures of 4-20. At 19 years and 124 days old, Maphaka became the youngest seamer to pick a four-wicket haul in a men's T20I game among the full member teams. In reply, Hazlewood picked 3-27, including two crucial strikes in the 15th over, while Ben Dwarshuis took 3-26 as South Africa were restricted for 161/9. Australia have now taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. Asked to bat first, Australia lost wickets in clusters in their bid for quick runs, but David revived the innings with a blistering 83 that included eight sixes - with one of them launched onto the stadium roof being the standout. He survived a chance on 56 when Tristan Stubbs spilled a catch at the boundary area, and found valuable late support from Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Ellis to lift the total. South Africa appeared well-placed to complete the chase at 120/3 in the 15th over, but Hazlewood swung the contest by removing Stubbs and George Linde. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa compounded the damage in the next over with two more strikes to leave the visitors reeling. The chase still had life going into the final over, with South Africa needing 21 and Ryan Rickelton batting on 71 off 53 balls. But Rickelton's attempt to clear midwicket off the second ball was thwarted by Glenn Maxwell, who pulled off a brilliant juggling catch on the boundary. Ben Dwarshuis then castled Kagiso Rabada on the final delivery to seal a 17-run win for Australia. Brief scores: Australia 178 (Tim David 83; Kwena Maphaka 4-20) beat South Africa 161/9 (Ryan Rickelton 71, Tristan Stubbs 37; Ben Dwarshuis 3-26, Josh Hazlewood 3-27) by 17 runs.
