Cricket legend MS Dhoni, known for his remarkable skills, played through the IPL 2024 season despite having a muscle tear. Even though his team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), didn’t reach the playoffs, Dhoni’s performance stood out. He plans to go to London for surgery to fix his muscle tear now that the season is over.
CSK sources have confirmed that Dhoni’s injury significantly affected his performance during the IPL. Despite this, his dedication to the game remains strong, and he wants to continue playing cricket. Dhoni will make decisions about his future after undergoing the surgery and recovering, which is expected to take about five to six months. His goal is to return to the field for IPL 2025.
“Dhoni might head to London for his muscle tear surgery, which saw him struggling during the IPL. He is not fully fit but wants to continue playing cricket. He will decide about his future only after treatment, which will take him five to six months to recover,” sources said as quoted by One Cricket.

Despite his injury, MS Dhoni excelled as a finisher in IPL 2024, scoring 161 runs at an impressive strike rate of 220.55. He hit 14 fours and 13 sixes in 14 matches, standing out in a challenging season for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). This year, Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Under Gaikwad’s leadership, CSK had a balanced season, winning seven matches and losing seven, finishing with 14 points. However, they missed the playoffs due to a lower net run rate compared to other teams. Dhoni’s future in the IPL will depend on his recovery after surgery.
Fans are closely watching his progress, hoping to see their hero return in IPL 2025. This situation leaves CSK supporters and the broader cricketing world in suspense, eagerly awaiting updates on Dhoni’s health and decisions. His return would significantly boost the team and delight fans worldwide.
