G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

MSD (Mahendra Singh Dhoni) - the Chennai Super Kings Captain will be returning to competitive cricket action in IPL (Indian Premier League 2024). The much-awaited comeback will be made by Dhoni to the field on 23rd March when his team faces RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) in the opening match of the Indian Premier league which is to be held in Chennai.

Dhoni's Medical Condition

The return of Dhoni preceded a challenging few months for the Indian great. He had undergone knee surgery last year, and there were serious speculations over whether he would be available as a player in the 2024 edition. Against all odds, the 42-year-old Dhoni joined the CSK camp earlier this month, but there is no doubt about the fact that his knees will continue to wear out as he continues to play.

Statement by CSK mate Rayudu

Dhoni's former CSK teammate Ambati Rayudu had provided unique suggestions for the wicket keeper batter to ensure that he remains fit for the longer durations and remains available for the side in crucial situations. 

Rayudu, when making an appearance on the Star Sports "Pres Room," said, "With the impact player rule, he can take a back seat and promote someone to captain their side in the middle,"

"So this year is a transition year for CSK if it's his last year; if he decides to play for a few more years, he would be the captain. I would personally like to see him as a captain."

Speculations On Dhoni's Appearance

Dhoni, has not given a clear cut answer on whether the 2024 edition would be his last appearance in the IPL. It looks like the India great would hang onto his boots after leading the Super Kings to record their equalling 5th title that happened last year, but it is clearly visible that Dhoni is not done yet.

A bad Knee can't stop Dhoni.

Rayudu believes that Dhoni will play for the team CSK even if he is just 10% fit because he played with a bad knee injury during the 2023 season as well.

Rayudu's Statement

If he decides to play this season and if he is even 10% fit, he will definitely play the full season. knowing him, the injury will not keep him out of the game, and he has played through many injuries. Even during last season, he was playing with a very bad knee injury, so I don't think anything will stop him from playing this full season," said Rayudu.
