Given that the IPL 2026 is set to commence on March 28, it seems cricketers have taken a break from their hectic training schedules to relax before the commencement of the month-long tournament.

In Chennai, the buzz surrounding the Chennai Super Kings has been equally high. The franchise recently hosted its grand ROAR 2026 event at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk.

While speculation continues around whether IPL 2026 could mark Dhoni’s final season on the field, recent team developments — including the recruitment of Sanju Samson — have only added fuel to the ongoing rumours, keeping fans guessing about what lies ahead for the legendary cricketer.
