Chennai Super Kings is all set to begin their IPL 2026 campaign against first-edition champions Rajasthan Royals on 30th March 2026 in Guwahati. Ahead of the highly anticipated clash, the CSK lost their gem - MS Dhoni for the match citing calf injury.

Moreover, MS Dhoni didn’t travel to Guwahati with the team as he is continuously working and is currently in rehabilitation. In his absence, it is expected that either of Urvil Patel and Kartik Sharma will get a chance to represent the franchise with Sanju Samson behind the stumps.​​​​​​

With all this happening, one thing that caught everyone’s eye was Ruturaj Gaikwad’s mobile wallpaper. Ruturaj, who is the captain of the side has put wallpaper with MS Dhoni. It is well known that how much this bond means to him and with him putting a DP with him makes it even more special.  

The incident was caught at the airport when Ruturaj Gaikwad was travelling with the team and a fan captured his picture. Going into the details of the picture, fans realised that the picture was of MS Dhoni and him.

With Ravindra Jadeja traded to Rajasthan and Sanju Samson traded to Chennai - it will be an interesting clash to witness. It will be interesting to see which team wins the contest.
