New Delhi: When MS Dhoni return? When will he play his next game? when will he come back chennai super kings Jersey? Every time CSK takes the field, the problems keep mounting.Dhoni He was ruled out for two weeks just before the team’s first game of the season. However, his return remains unclear, with the veteran yet to feature this season due to a calf strain.All eyes are on CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad Fans are eagerly awaiting Dhoni’s latest news as he takes the wicket at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel won the coin toss and elected to field.“We wanted to pitch first because the field looked good and we were more willing to chase it no matter what the score was. IPL is a long game and the atmosphere in the dressing room is very relaxed. The discussion focuses on things we can control, and once we get to a certain point, there’s no need to overthink it. That’s the mindset, controlling what’s in our hands. I’m in a good mood. If you look at the balance of our side, we pretty much covered all the bases,” Axar said while bowling.“Obviously, with the options we have, I think we have picked a very good combination. The team looks more balanced than last year and hopefully we perform well today. As for the surface, it is a good batting wicket this season. It has been good in Chennai over the past few years. It is a clay court so there should be a good bounce. Our aim is to limit them to as low a total as possible and then chase that. There are two changes. Nabi replaces Vipraj and Ashutosh Sharma replaces Nitish Rana,” he added.When Ruturaj took the microphone, CSK fans greeted him with loud cheers. Ravi Shastri asked him about the toss, team combinations and the big questions surrounding Dhoni.“The pitch did look a bit dry. We were actually 50-50, but it’s good to back yourself. Our goal was to give our best performance today, get our first win and get into the table. That’s what we’ve been working towards in the last few games,” Ruturaj said.“Like I mentioned in the press conference, we’re improving in every aspect. The batting was really good, it’s just that we missed some key moments and those are areas we need to capitalize on. But overall, everyone is in good space and very eager to go. When you see the balance of the team, we’re definitely going to play to our potential. It’s great to have Brevis back, he’s excited and ready to go. The middle order also looks solid. We have also brought in Gurjapneet Singh, who has been bowling well of late, in place of Matt Edwards,” he said.“For those who are asking about MS Dhoni, he is watching from the hotel and supporting us. But, soon, you will see him on the ground,” he added.team:Chennai Super Kings (Starting XI): Sanju Samson (women), Ruturaj Gaikwad (centre), Ayush Mhatre, Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube, Dewald Brevis, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Gurjapneet Singh, Khaleel AhmedDelhi Capitals (Starting Lineup): Pathum Nissankar, KL Rahul (women), Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel (centre), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Auqib Nabi Dar, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh KumarHere are the substitutes for both teams:Delhi Capitals Subs: Vipraj Nigam, Ashutosh Sharma, Karun Nair, Dushmantha Chameera, Nitish RanaChennai Super Kings impact substitutes: Matthew Short, Akhil Hussain, Kartik Sharma, Prashant Veer, Matt Henry
