Chennai: Practicing online. But till now Mahendra Singh Dhoni has not been seen playing in Chennai Super Kings jersey. Mahi will not be seen playing in the current season at all? The question arises without taking. The team has been making repeated statements that MSD is gradually getting fit. So why is he not playing in the eleventh? Former world-winning Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin feels that Dhoni might play in a match if CSK is knocked out of the playoff race.

Currently Chennai Super Kings IPLare sixth in the points table. They have collected 6 points from 8 matches played so far. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side need to win at least five of the remaining six matches to secure themselves among the top four teams and qualify for the playoffs.

In a recent interview on a YouTube channel, the former CSK spinner said, “If CSK is knocked out of the tournament, then MS Dhoni might play. CSK are still in the tournament, so why would they risk it now? I still think CSK have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. But yes, it is difficult. The way CSK have played in the last five matches has given them some confidence. CSK bowling is doing well. If their batting is also good, they can make it three wins in a row.”

Dhoni has played the most number of matches in Chennai jersey. Scored the most runs. However, he did not enter the field in the first eight matches of the team this season. He was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Sanju Samson is playing in the XI in Dhoni’s absence. And the Kerala batter has scored two centuries in the jersey of the new franchise.

He was ruled out for two weeks in the current tournament due to a calf muscle injury before the IPL. But that day is increasing now. Dhoni has not played any match yet. But he has started net practice. He was also seen hitting the helicopter shot in CSK’s practice. Dhoni’s fitness was taken. It is known that he has passed that test as well. So why is the former captain of Chennai not playing? It is known that Dhoni does not want to take the place of any youngster. Especially, Chennai has started to turn around by winning three of the last four matches. Dhoni himself does not want that rhythm to be broken. However, CSK’s middle order has not played up to expectations so far. But Dhoni’s decision not to play is completely his.
