Chennai Super Kings are facing fitness issues. MS Dhoni will miss a few IPL 2026 matches, and Dewald Brevis is also out for the first few games due to a side strain, but he is expected to recover soon. Brevis had joined CSK in 2025, where he went on to score 225 runs in 6 matches.
Chennai Super Kings hit by injuries as MS Dhoni, Dewald Brevis miss games
He even went on to score two fifties, despite joining a bit late. He also had a great SA20 season with Pretoria, scoring 370 in 12 games at an average of 41, at a strike rate of 156. There he scored 1 ton and 2 fifties. On the other hand, CSK veteran Dhoni won’t feature in a match until the end of April, and is set to miss their opening clash against MI.
He suffered a calf injury during training. In short, he could be gone for at least 6-7 games for CSK. In his absence though, just resource-wise, CSK looks settled. There is a certain Sanju Samson, who can not only bat well up the order, but also keep wickets well in Dhoni’s absence.
