When CSK CEO Kasi Viswanthan was asked, he told PTI, “As far as I am concerned, the skipper is 100 percent playing. I don’t know about any other development.”
In case Dhoni doesn’t play, CSK then might ask one among Devon Conway or Ambati Rayudu to keep wickets, as they don’t have any specialised stumper in their ranks.
Dhoni does a lot of pre-season training, but in order to conserve energy, he normally doesn’t train a lot when the tournament starts.
At his age, it doesn’t take much time for any niggle to aggravate and become more serious, taking more time than usual to heal.
With so much of travelling and back-to-back matches, there remains a possibility that Dhoni wouldn’t like to risk playing and missing more matches in the latter stages of the tournament.
However, the Jharkhand dasher is not known to miss matches and has managed to play through a lot of niggles, including back problems.
