Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were successful in winning a crucial game against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Sunday afternoon, earning them a place in the playoffs once again with three games yet to go. CSK showcased an impressive performance, especially considering the on-going bowlers crisis.
Amidst all the ruckus, reports of an injury to wicket keeper and former skipper, MS Dhoni have come out.
What happened to MS Dhoni?
According to credible sources, Dhoni has been suffering from a muscle tear in his leg, restricting his movements and not allowing him to run for too long.

Dhoni stepped down from the CSK leadership role earlier this year, handing over the captaincy responsibilities on the young Ruturaj Gaikwad and has been playing more of a mentor’s role for the youngster in the team. Even through injury, Dhoni’s contribution for the men in yellow this season has been rather impressive.
