Before the CSK vs SRH match, discussions regarding MS Dhoni have intensified. Harbhajan Singh advised Dhoni to play in a funny manner, while R Ashwin’s post increased the tension of the fans.

Before the match between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, MS Dhoni has once again come into the center of discussion. Before CSK’s last home match of this season in Chepauk, fans want to know whether ‘Thala’ will take the field for the last time. Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh’s funny statement and Ravichandran Ashwin’s post have sparked a new debate on social media.

The match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday is not limited to just the race for the playoffs. Before this match, most of the discussion is going on about MS Dhoni.

This is CSK’s last home match of IPL 2026 in Chepauk and fans are hopeful that ‘Thala’ will definitely take the field. Dhoni, who was out of action for the entire season due to injury and team combination, has been seen practicing continuously in the nets in recent times, which has increased the speculation about his comeback.

Harbhajan Singh said- ‘Brother, Dhoni should play’
Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement about Dhoni in a funny manner. He said that Dhoni himself has said earlier that he wants to play his last match in Chennai.

Harbhajan said,
“This is CSK’s last home match, so there is every possibility that we will see Dhoni on the field for the last time. If he does not play, it means he will return again next year. Brother, play Dhoni, otherwise I will drag you to the field myself.”

This statement of Harbhajan is becoming increasingly viral on social media.

Ashwin’s post increased tension
Whereas Ravichandran Ashwin increased the heartbeats of the fans with his social media post. Ashwin believes that Dhoni will probably not play in this match also.

He wrote in the post,
“Not going to happen today. Maybe in 2027.”

After this statement of Ashwin, a new debate started among the fans on social media.

Aakash Chopra also expressed his opinion
Former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Dhoni is definitely fit now, but due to team combination, he is not being included in the playing eleven.

Aakash Chopra said,
“If the team is in the middle position, i.e. neither completely out nor qualifying, then it would not be right to spoil the team combination. Any young player will have to be dropped, so the management does not want to do that.”

Fans waiting for ‘Thala’
However, Chennai fans are still hopeful that Dhoni will once again take the field in the yellow jersey. If this happens, the atmosphere of Chepauk can become very emotional and memorable.

At the same time, if Dhoni does not play in this match, then the discussions regarding his return and possible departure in the next season will intensify.
