Dhoni can go to Lucknow with the team
There is news from CSK camp that MS Dhoni can go to Lucknow with the team. Dhoni, who has a calf injury, has not played a single match yet this season. Even in CSK’s away matches, he has traveled with the team only twice so far. Once he went to Hyderabad and second time to Mumbai. Now the news of his going to Lucknow is coming out.
CSK CEO gave a big update
Cricbuzz quoted CSK CEO Kashi Vishwanathan as saying that a total of 60 people have booked tickets to go to Lucknow in Indigo’s commercial flight, one of which is Dhoni’s ticket. He expressed hope that Dhoni can go to Lucknow, where CSK has to play a match with the host team on May 15.
The news about Hardik Pandya is confirmed!
The news about Hardik Pandya is confirmed that he has not gone to Dharamshala with Mumbai Indians. Pandya has suffered back spasm, due to which he is out of the last two matches. Now his not reaching Dharamshala with the team means that he may remain out of the match against Punjab Kings to be held there on May 14. However, meanwhile, for the first time after the injury, pictures of his batting practice have surfaced. At the same time, it has not been denied that he cannot reach Dharamshala. But, will Hardik play? Even during the last match, Hardik did not go to Raipur with the team. He joined the team late. But did not play the match.
Mumbai Indians have won only 3 out of 11 matches played so far in IPL 2026. With this poor performance, they are not only at number 9 in the points table but are also out of the race for the playoffs.
