Dhoni being forced to play?
According to Chennai Super Kings sources, Dhoni suffered a leg injury during the opening match of the IPL. But despite this injury, he remained with the team and continued to participate in every match. One of the reasons for this is that apart from Dhoni, there is no other wicket-keeper batsman in the team. Actually, Devon Conway has not been able to participate in this season of IPL due to injury. CSK also included a fast bowler in place of Conway. Therefore, as the team does not have a wicketkeeper, Dhoni himself has to take medicine and enter the field.
