CSK vs DC: Dhoni can become the captain of CSK; Rituraj maybe playing against Delhi

Legendary batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) can be seen back at the helm of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) once again. Indeed, the Chennai Super Kings' regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad's availability against Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 5 at MA Chidambaram Stadium is a questionable one, as Gaikwad hurt his right hand on a Tushar Deshpande ball in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Nevertheless, during the same match, Gaikwad persisted with batting after treatment and struck a marvelous half-century score.

On the other hand, before the match against Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Mike Hussey on Friday expressed doubt over his presence in the team in the next match. He has said that any decision will be taken only after how the batsman performs in the nets session.

In this regard, he said, yes, we are hoping that he will try to bat during training. He is still feeling a little pain, but it is improving every day. So we are very hopeful, very confident that he will be fine by tomorrow (Saturday).

If Rituraj Gaikwad is absent in the match to be held on April 5 due to injury, then due to no other option available for captaincy, the reins of Chennai Super Kings can once again be in the hands of MS Dhoni. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is struggling in the current season with one win and 2 losses in three matches so far.

If Rituraj Gaikwad is not fit, then who will play his role in the end? In response to this question, Chennai Super Kings batting coach Mike Hussey said, I don't think we have really thought much about it. At the moment, I have not thought too much about it. I am sure Stephen Fleming and Rituraj Gaikwad must have thought about it.
