Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings to his second Indian Premier victory this year while an unbeaten quick cameo, 26 out of 11, the team helped the line on Monday. Their victory against the super winnings of Lucknow, at the Ekana Cricket stadium, was not enough to repel them the IPL ranking while they continue to sit on the rocks.
However, that would be the last of the problems for the franchise already in difficulty.
After fighting with all the facets of the game – the striker, the bowling alley and the field – CSK had a blow after the regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was excluded from the rest of the tournament with an elbow injury.
Now it seems that their replacement captain could fight with a fitness problem that is his own.
Dhoni saw the lameness
A video has become viral of Dhoni with the hall of the Hotel publishing his heroic against the high -flying LSG. This could be a concern because the supposed problem of the knee is not one.
In the first rounds, Dhoni was visibly unbalanced several times while keeping counters and he also had trouble while taking a simple in the second rounds.
It was also seen to be a lame the staircases of the Ekana Cricket stadium for its post-match presentation obligations.
The lame continued when Dhoni approached to recover his match of the match man for his crucial sleeves with the bat, which saw CSK cross the finish line with ease.
Historical problem?
In recent years, Dhoni has developed a problem with its knee, in particular its left. This problem could be due to the wear and tear that his knees have experienced over the years thanks to his demanding role as a counter.
But, not surprisingly, no confirmation of the skipper himself or the management of the CSK was revealed concerning any potential injury.
Even the team’s bowling coach Eric Simons did not disclose any harassment problems while speaking with the press after the LSG victory in Lucknow.
Losing Dhoni could be devastating for the franchise, because the team finally withdrew its rut of losing five games on the trotting, the 43 -year -old playing a crucial role in the renewal.
It remains to be seen if Dhoni would be available for the shock of high issues against the Indians of Mumbai, Wankhede, Sunday April 20, 2025.
