It has been said in many media reports that Dhoni has a knee problem and he will first undergo several tests at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai after the reports come out, he can also undergo knee surgery if needed. However, no information has been given about this from Dhoni himself or the Chennai team.
CSK head coach Stephen Fleming during one of his press conferences admitted that Dhoni is suffering from a knee injury. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman was also seen limping several times during IPL 2023. His picture of wearing a kneecap during CSK's lap of honor at the MA Chidambaram Stadium after Chennai's last home match in IPL 2023 also went viral.
Dhoni was constantly troubled by a knee injury. For this reason, he was coming down a lot in batting. He was trying to score runs by playing big shots instead of running away. He had also said that he does not want to run and his fellow players know this.
What is Dhoni's knee problem and how serious is it? They may have to do several tests to find out. It will take time and Dhoni may also be admitted to Kokilaben Hospital.
