Chennai Super Kings may have beaten Punjab Kings to take another step towards securing a playoff berth, but the position of MS Dhoni to bat No.9 has low down CSK. MS Dhoni has come in that position to bat stunning many pundits and fans.

Former Indian Cricketers like Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh slammed him for that position. But the actual reason behind that late arrival is MS Dhoni’s injury.

According to a Times of India report, Dhoni has a muscle tear in his leg that prevents him from running on the field for too long. So if he comes early to the ground, it will be a problem for him to run between the wickets.

The report from the source quoted that,

“We are virtually playing with our ‘B’ team. Those who are criticizing Dhoni don’t know the sacrifice that he is making for this team.”

Dhoni is taking medicines before coming on to the pitch and trying to limit his running activities, and even last year Dhoni got an injury in his knee.

In CSK, Devon Conway has already been ruled out, and also Matheesha Pathirana has sent him back due to injury. Even great Indian pacer Deepak Chahar is unlikely to make a comeback this season due to a leg injury.

This season CSK team is suffering from many injury problems.
