Dhoni out of action for 10 days, Raina to lead CSK
Kolkata, March 17: Chennai Super Kings’ charismatic captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be out of action for 10 days because of an elbow injury and, in his absence, left-hander Suresh Raina will lead the side in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
Dhoni was hit by a rising Shane Bond delivery in yesterday’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, after which he looked in pain and needed medical attention.
“Dhoni has been diagnosed with an elbow injury and advised 10 days’ rest,” CSK team manager Russell Radhakrishnan said.
Consequentially, Dhoni will miss Chennai Super Kings’ matches against Delhi Daredevils (March 19), Kings XI Punjab (March 21), Royal Challengers Bangalore (March 23) and Mumbai Indians (March 25).
Team owner Gurunath Meyappan and director (cricket operation) V B Chandrasekhar said in a statement that Dhoni would return home and in his absence, Parthiv Patel would keep the wickets.
