Disappointing news for the Chennai Super Kings fans! Dhoni to miss out on IPL for ten days! The Chennai Super Kings Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will not be available for four of the IPL matches! Yesterday, while at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, the Indian Skipper was hit by a speeding Shane Bond produce.
The kiwi speedster playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL sped it up on to the elbow of the Indian Skipper who shook hands with all the opposite team members with his left hand after the Chennai Super Kings won the match. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was subjected to an X-ray which ruled out the possibilities of any fractures, or any other serious injuries.
Dhoni, though rested, will be travelling along with the Chennai Super Kings to their venues and will be seen in the dressing room along with the other team members, for their next fixture with the Delhi Daredevils, at the Feroz Shah Kotla, on 19th March 2010.
Dhoni will sit in the dressing room for the other three matches that will follow. The Indian Skipper won’t be available when the Chennai Super Kings will take on the
Kings XI Punjab on 21 March 2010, the
Royal Challengers Bangalore on 23 March 2010 and the
Mumbai Indians on 25 March 2010.
The PTI reports, “Dhoni will be out of action for the next 10 days and the exact nature of his injury is being examined by the doctors at a private hospital here,” which was quoted from a source close to the team management.
“He (Dhoni) will be travelling with the team to Delhi,” the source further added, “An official announcement will be made once the nature of the injury is determined by the doctors.”
