Mrs. Dhoni again will lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL. When CSK reaches action against Kolkata Knight Rides in the IPL 2025 match in Chennai on Friday, all attention will be on the most successful IPL captain – MS DHONI. However, the position in which CSK itself is not perfect at all. The five times heroes lost four games out of five games, where they were placed in the ninth place in the league 10 teams, and Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad ordered outside the elbow injury. In this scenario, Mrs. Dhoni intervenes to revive the CSK campaign.
CSK coach Stephen Fleming said that Mrs. Donni was not at all in the case of the idea of driving CSK again.
“He had no hesitation in ascending and helping us to guide us if we could,” Fleming said. “So this was never a doubt. We’ll look at alternatives. We have some good players in the team who were with us some time, so we will look from the inside first. But yes, there is an opportunity to know how we can strengthen the team forward forward to the subsequent years.”
Dhoni had previously captured CSK from 2008 to 2023 and won five IPL titles. The leader handed over to Gaikwad before the 2024 season. Gaikwad was hit by a short ball from Jofra Archer on March 30, and since then he played two games.
“We have an uneducated player, Mrs. Dhoni, who will take over the position of the team captain for the rest of the IPL,” Fleming told Mediapersons before the match against KKR on Friday.
“He was beaten in my air (opposite RR). He was working with a degree of pain. We got X -rays, which were inconclusive, and we had MRI, which revealed a fracture in Koua, in the radial neck.”
While Gaikwad played with pain against Capitals Dehi Capitals and Punjab Kings, the CSK medical team was unable to obtain MRI until after the swelling subsided.
“So we are disappointed and felt. We appreciate the efforts that he went to in terms of trying to play, but it will get out of the championship.
Although Gaikwad was easily the best bread in the last five games, he often felt frustrated due to a backward and larger arrangement than the middle ranking, as CSK was unable to chase anything more than 180.
CSK does not have a lot of options now regardless of the Recall of Tribathi in the first three places, although it seemed far from the place until now.
Depac Hoda, one of the experienced CSK players, can come in the middle ranking.
CSK can also look at the unpaid Delhi Boy Delhi Bedi to do some strengths.
The Chennai team has the right to obtain an alternative player and can be a burned Mumbai Ayush teenager filling that hole.
