How serious is the injury?
Chennai Super Kings on Thursday said that they did not bat during practice at the Narendra Modi Stadium. If Dhoni doesn’t play, CSK can hand over the wicketkeeping duties to either Devon Conway or Ambati Rayudu as they don’t have a specialist wicketkeeper. Dhoni does a lot of practice before the season, but avoids doing much practice just before the start of the tournament to conserve his energy. At this age, there is a problem of early injury to the player, in such a situation, Dhoni would not want to take much risk in view of the long season.
Akash in place of Mukesh
Akash Singh was included in the team on Thursday in place of injured left-arm fast bowler Mukesh Chaudhary. Mukesh, who took 16 wickets on his debut in the last season of the Indian Premier League, is recovering from a stress fracture and has been ruled out of the current season of the T20 league. Akash Singh was a part of India’s Under-19 World Cup squad in 2020. He has previously played for Rajasthan Royals. The left-arm fast bowler has so far played nine List A matches, five first-class matches and nine T20Is, taking 31 wickets. He will join CSK for Rs 20 lakh.
