Overview
- Dhoni has followed a fixed 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm routine at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi for about two months, according to a JSCA official.
- He spends roughly an hour in the gym, two hours on power-hitting in the nets, conducts match simulations when the centre wicket is free, and finishes with 30 minutes of swimming.
- CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan reiterated that the 44-year-old is expected to play in 2026 and will not retire before the season.
- Coverage characterizes 2026 as a possible last season for Dhoni, though talk of a midseason farewell remains speculative from pundits.
- Reports point to a CSK squad revamp after a last-place 2025 finish, including unconfirmed chatter about a Sanju Samson move that could ease Dhoni’s workload.
