MS Dhoni is probably going to captain CSK.
In Match 17 of the IPL 2025, the Delhi Capitals (DC) take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in an attempt to extend their winning streak. After two games, DC has a perfect record, while CSK has dropped their first two of three games. If usual captain Ruturaj Gaikwad doesn’t recover from his elbow injury in time, CSK batting coach Michael Hussey has alluded to MS Dhoni leading the team. When Gaikwad attempted to step down the pitch off Tushar Deshpande in the second over of CSK’s loss to the Rajasthan Royals last week, he was struck in the right forearm.
