CSK Receive Key Dhoni Update Before Crucial MI Game

Chennai Super Kings have played a number of games without Dhoni in the playing XI. The veteran suffered with an injury right before the tournament began, ruling him out for a few games. Eventually, he was supposed to return in the match against MI, but an update has been released for the same.

Chennai Super Kings are now preparing themselves for the El Clásico clash. And it will be between CSK and MI, the two teams which have managed to win the IPL five times. Both teams have struggled to do well in this tournament, as CSK were supposed to get a major boost for the same.

Right before the match against Mumbai Indians, MS Dhoni was seen practicing a lot for the team. Fans expected that since he has been fully recovered, he would be a part of the team in the El Clásico match. But unfortunately, the return of Captain Cool is unlikely to take place in the match against Mumbai Indians.

He is reported to miss out on the match against Mumbai, and make his return in the match against Gujarat Titans. Chennai Super Kings will be going against Gujarat on 26 April, which means that the fans will have to wait a little more to watch Thala behind the stumps.

Our Take

The unavailability of MS Dhoni has struck hard to the Chennai Super Kings. Despite being the five-time IPL champions, the team has not been able to do well in this tournament, as they prepare for the clash against Mumbai Indians. Taking a look at the squads of both teams, Mumbai is having a much experienced team as compared to CSK, without MS Dhoni. While his experience adds a lot to the team, his full clearance also remains important to ensure that he is available at his best.
