MS Dhoni is all set to return to cricket next week when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) opener on March 22 . Dhoni, who led CSK to their fifth title last season, has not played a game since the final. Many are speculating that IPL 2024 will be Dhoni’s last one. Former India batsman Robin Uthappa has said that even if Dhoni is in a wheelchair, CSK will not mind the presence of the icon.
Uthappa said that while batting is not a concern for Dhoni, the condition of his knees is not perfect.
“Even if he is in a wheelchair, CSK will let him bat! Come out of the wheelchair, bat and go back. But I don’t think batting will be a problem for him, I don’t think batting will ever be a problem for him .” was a problem for him. I think it’s a keeper. The knees were worn out and he loved goalkeeping. So, because he can’t stand out there and add value, he’ll probably leave the game more than anyone else. Other reasons,” Uthappa said on Jio Cinema.
Former England and Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ooin Morgan also echoed Uthappa’s sentiments and said time is not on Dhoni’s side.
“He’s the kind of guy who writes his own script. It’s probably a feeling thing for him. If his knee is as bad as Robbie’s got away with it, time may pass because he doesn’t want to stay where he’s set position.” Morgan explained: “He chose the franchise just because he always wanted the franchise to be successful. He was very generous with his time and very respectful, and he would want someone Come on board and take over that responsibility.”
After last year’s final, Dhoni flew from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and consulted renowned sports orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is also a member of the BCCI medical team and has treated many top Indian cricketers including Rishabh Pant. The ball player had surgery.
He has undergone successful surgery on his left knee and has been declared fit to compete.
