Dhoni & Jacks Eye IPL Return!
22 Apr
Summary
- MS Dhoni intensely trained in nets after calf strain, showing no discomfort.
- Will Jacks arrived in India after missing MI's first six matches.
- Australian pacer Spencer Johnson has joined the CSK squad.
MS Dhoni and Will Jacks are reportedly set to return for the Mumbai Indians vs. Chennai Super Kings clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night. Dhoni trained intensely in CSK nets on Tuesday, batting and keeping wickets for extended periods without visible discomfort following a calf strain. His potential return could provide crucial depth to CSK's batting lineup, which is currently eighth in the IPL standings.
Meanwhile, England all-rounder Will Jacks has arrived in India after missing MI's first six matches. Jacks, who was a standout performer in the 2026 T20 World Cup, trained with MI on Monday and Tuesday, batting and bowling. His inclusion is a significant boost for MI, strengthening their middle-order batting and spin bowling capabilities.
Further strengthening CSK, Australian pacer Spencer Johnson has joined the squad in Mumbai. Signed as a replacement, Johnson trained with the team and is expected to feature in the playing XI, potentially replacing an injured Khaleel Ahmed. This comes as CSK has been hampered by injuries, including Ayush Mhatre's hamstring issue.
