“Update on MS Dhoni is way above my pay grade.”
This one line by a member of theChennai Super Kings(CSK) coaching squad shows where the franchise is at present.
The team is placed sixth in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and still has an outside chance to make it to the play-offs. But bowling coach Eric Simons had a rather unique take on the now expected regular query about the availability of the face of the franchise for Tuesday’s game againstDelhi Capitalsat theArun JaitleyStadium.
For the record,Dhoni has not travelled with the rest of the squad for the fixturethat’s crucial for CSK’s playoff hopes.
