New Delhi: When will it happen? MS Dhoni Return When will he play his next match? When will he be back in one? Chennai Super Kings Jersey? Every time CSK takes to the field, the questions keep mounting.Dhoni He was ruled out for exactly two weeks before the team’s opening game of the season. However, there is still no clarity on his return, with the veteran yet to feature this season due to a calf strain.All eyes were on the CSK captain. Rituraj Gaikwad As he stepped out for the toss at a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, fans were eagerly waiting for an update on Dhoni.Delhi Capitals captain Akshar Patel won the toss and decided to field.“We would like to bowl first because the pitch is looking good, and whatever the score is set, we will prefer to chase it. IPL is a long tournament and the atmosphere in the dressing room is very relaxed. The discussion has been focused on what we can control, once we get to a certain point things don’t need to be overthought. So that’s been the mentality, control what we have. The mood is good. If you look at the balance of our side, we have almost covered all the bases,” Aksar said at the toss.“Obviously, based on the options we have, I think we’ve picked a very good combination. Compared to last year, the team looks more balanced and hopefully we’ll do well today. Surface-wise, it’s been a good batting wicket this season. In the last two years in Chennai, he’s played well. It’s a red clay pitch, so it should be good for us to come back there. As much as possible overall and then his chase. There are two changes. Nabi comes in for Vipraj, and Ashutosh Sharma replaces Nitish Rana,” he added.When Rituraj took the mic, CSK fans gave him a standing ovation. Ravi Shastri asked him a big question about toss, team combination, and Dhoni.“The pitch looks a bit dry. We were actually 50-50 about the toss, but it’s good to bounce back. The aim is to put our best foot forward today, get the first win and get on the points table. That’s what we’re trying to do in the last two games,” said Rutoraj.“As I mentioned in the press conference, we’re improving in all areas. The batting is doing really well, it’s just a few key moments that we’ve missed, and those are the areas that we need to capitalize on. But overall, everyone is in a good place and really raring to go. And ready. The middle order also looks solid. We have also replaced Matt Edwards with Gurjapaneet Singh, who has been bowling well recently.“For those asking about MS Dhoni, he is watching and supporting us at the hotel. But yes, very soon, you will see him on the ground,” he added.Teams:Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Sanju Samson (W), Rituraj Gaikwad (Captain), Ayush Mahatre, Sarfraz Khan, Shivm Dubey, David Brews, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj, Gurjapaneet Singh, Khalil Ahmed.Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Patham Nissanka, KL Rahul (W), Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel (C), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Aqib Nabi Dar, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh KumarHere are the Impact Substitutes for both teams:Delhi Capitals Impact Subs: Vipraj Nigam, Ashutosh Sharma, Karo Nair, Dushmantha Chimera, Nitish RanaChennai Super Kings Impact Subs: Matthew Short, Akhil Hossain, Karthik Sharma, Prashant Vir, Matt Henry
