MS Dhoni will captain against Delhi Capitals? Batting coach of Chennai gave a big hint – MS Dhoni Can Lead CSK vs DC Michael Hussey Statement as Ruturaj Gaikwad Doubtful for the Match

Chennai: The 17th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals on 5 April i.e. Saturday at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK’s regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is doubtful to play in this match. In Guwahati, Gaikwad was hit by fast bowler Tushar Deshpande against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. He definitely scored a half -century in the match. But Chennai lost that match. Gaikwad did not train for a few days after the match. There was inflammation in his albow. Till now it has not been confirmed whether Gaikwad will play against Delhi or not. Now the question arises that if Ruturaj does not play, then who will captain him in his place. Prior to the match, Chennai’s batting coach Michael Hussey has told who can lead the team against Delhi.

MS Dhoni can captain against Delhi

Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey said in a press conference before the match, he will try to bat in training today. They are still swollen, but it is getting better every day. Therefore, we are very optimistic and convinced that he will be cured by tomorrow. ‘

If Ruturaj did not play, then who will captain him in his place, Hussey said, ‘I am sure that Fleming and Rutu would have thought about it. But we have some young players. He lives behind the wicket. Perhaps he can do a good job. I don’t know sure. They have little experience of this role, so perhaps he can do. But to be honest, I do not know properly. Hussey’s statement shows that he is talking about MS Dhoni. However, he did not name Mahi.
