Chennai Super Kings Confident MS Dhoni Will Play Despite Injury, Ben Stokes and Deepak Chahar's Recovery Updates Revealed

Dhoni is unlikely to miss games for CSK © IPL

The Chennai Super Kings management remains optimistic about MS Dhoni's participation in the ongoing IPL 2023 season, despite him nursing a knee injury that has limited his movements. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan confirmed that Dhoni has not indicated any intention to miss games due to the injury, stating, "He will play." Coach Stephen Fleming acknowledged Dhoni's injury but praised his professionalism and dedication to the team. Dhoni, known for playing through injuries, has retired from international cricket and has the flexibility to continue playing for CSK despite not being at 100% fitness.

On the other hand, CSK's star all-rounder Ben Stokes is expected to miss at least three more games as he recovers from a left toe injury sustained while bowling. CSK CEO Viswanathan provided an update on Stokes' recovery, stating that he is progressing well and should be fit for the April 30th game against Punjab Kings, with a possibility of returning earlier for the April 27th match against Rajasthan Royals.

Meanwhile, Deepak Chahar, a key player for CSK, is expected to take longer to recover from his injury and may be available during the first week of May. CSK's management is hopeful that Chahar will return to action by then. Both Stokes and Chahar will continue to travel with the team, receiving support from the franchise's staff.

In addition, CSK will be without Sisanda Magala, who is expected to take at least a week to recover after being unable to complete his quota of overs against Rajasthan Royals.

CSK's current record in IPL 2023 stands at two wins and two losses. Their next game is an away match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 17th.

Asia Cup 2014 - SL Vs Pak Final at Mirpur

Somewhere between outright unwinding and serious center, Lahiru Thirimanne drew quality from a position of zen in the Asia Cup last, stroking 101 from 108 to finish a triumph that snapped Sri Lanka's finals curse. He had assistance from Mahela Jayawardene, who decorated his notoriety for being an enormous match entertainer, however it had been a fearsome solitary hand from Lasith Malinga that had given most shape to the triumph. His five wickets for 56 deservedly earned him the Man-of-the-Match honor on a day when no other Sri Lanka bowler took a wicket. Those commitments demonstrated enough to agreeably overcome Fawad Alam's lady hundred, which had been a result of canny aggregation as he and Misbah-ul-Haq started an epic recuperation, then finished in a craze at the demise. That 260 for 5 was in the end accomplished was outstanding, however Sri Lanka surpassed that score with five wickets under control and 22 balls remaining. Pakistan may close they had been n...

South Africa crash Ponting party with big win

Australia's batsman Ricky Ponting South Africa thrashed Australia by 309 runs in the third Test on Monday to hold on to their number one Test ranking and ruin an emotional farewell for veteran batsman Ricky Ponting. Set a mammoth target of 632 runs to win, Australia lost their first wicket on the second ball of the fourth day and they never were eventually dismissed for 322 as the Proteas sealed the three-Test series 1-0. Graeme Smith's South Africans became the first team in two decades to defeat Australia on home soil in consecutive tours, with the West Indies the previous team to achieve it in 1992-93. And they achieved it with sporting good grace after forming a highly unusual honour guard for the Ponting, 37, Test cricket's second highest run-scorer, as he emerged for his final innings. "I was a little bit embarrassed and wish it didn't happen that way, but it was an amazing gesture by Graeme and the South African team," Ponting said. In their 2...
