Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey has provided an update on MS Dhoni’s fitness and recovery status, offering reassurance to fans amid ongoing speculation about the veteran cricketer’s availability for the upcoming Indian Premier League season.

Speaking on Dhoni’s condition, Hussey indicated that the former India captain is managing his recovery carefully and following a structured fitness routine. While he did not confirm a definitive timeline for Dhoni’s return to full competitive action, he suggested that the wicketkeeper-batter is progressing steadily and remains involved with the franchise’s preparations.

Dhoni’s fitness has been a recurring talking point in recent IPL seasons, given his age and the physical demands of wicketkeeping and finishing roles. Despite this, he has continued to feature for CSK, often playing through minor injuries while managing his workload strategically across campaigns.

CSK, one of the most successful franchises in IPL history, has consistently relied on Dhoni’s leadership and tactical acumen. Even when not fully fit or playing reduced minutes, his presence in the squad has been viewed as a stabilising factor for the team’s younger players and overall dressing room dynamics.

Hussey’s comments come at a time when anticipation is building around CSK’s squad composition and leadership planning for the season. While uncertainty remains about Dhoni’s long-term playing future, the latest update suggests that the franchise remains optimistic about his involvement in some capacity in the upcoming IPL campaign.
