Dhoni has a leg problem..!? Doctor's Warning..!?

Many people criticized Dhoni's decision to bat in the ninth row in the match against punjab Kings. But the chennai Super Kings team source has given some information about the reason for that. In the 2024 IPL series, dhoni has stepped down as the captain of the chennai Super Kings team and is playing only as a wicketkeeper and a batsman. He handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. In this situation, it is reported that dhoni has a torn tendon in his knee. dhoni underwent knee surgery at the end of the 2023 IPL series. He then had a torn ligament in that area. It was in this position that he participated in the 2024 IPL series. 

There was talk of him handing over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad as he could not play the entire IPL series. In this situation, dhoni came to bat only during the last two overs of the match. Despite criticism for that, he continued to bat only in the last one or two overs. He only focused on hitting boundaries while batting. He was avoiding single runs. It is said that during the first few matches when he was running, his hamstring tear got bigger and that is why he did not run singles after that. Meanwhile, doctors are telling him to retire. But CSK does not have a proper substitute wicketkeeper. CSK's wicketkeeper-batsman Devon Conway has been sidelined this year due to injury. Next, Aravalli Avanish, a young wicketkeeper, has been included in the team. On the other hand, many key players in the CSK team are unable to play due to injuries. Devon Conway is already out with an injury. CSK is struggling without proper openers to replace him. Rachin ravindra was the first opener. But he couldn't add runs properly. Next, Ajinkya Rahane is currently playing as the opener. He is also not doing well. Similarly, Daryl Mitchell is struggling to score runs at a high strike rate in the middle order. Pathirana, deepak Sahar, and Mustafizur Rahman, the three pace bowlers, have not been able to feature in all the league matches so far. Now all three of them are out of the series altogether. A CSK source said that dhoni is participating in the matches considering the condition of the CSK team while the main players of the CSK team are suffering from injuries and lack of proper form. Even though he is not able to bat more overs, he is contributing to the success of the team by giving advice to the bowlers and stopping the fielding using his experience during the bowling of the CSK team. That is why he is said to be playing in severe pain.
