MS Dhoni had another injury setback en route to his recovery. The Indian veteran injured his thumb and has now been further away from a potential return to action. Dhoni was also not seen at Chepauk in CSK's previous home matches, but we can expect a change today.

The former India captain was seen getting out of the team hotel to the bus for Chepauk amid huge cheers. It is safe to say that Dhoni is at the ground today, but playing the match doesn't seem likely at the moment. MS Dhoni's injury is likely to keep him away for this match as well, while a potential retirement is not on the cards.

CSK are currently placed 6th in the points table with 12 points in 12 matches, and have a do-or-die match at Chepauk today. Ruturaj Gaikwad and his troops will have to get two points in order to stay alive in the playoff race.
