Head coach Stephen Fleming confirmed Dhoni's availability and said, "He was always playing. Not sure where that story came from. He was nursing a sore knee throughout the month of pre-season, but today it was just cramps, it wasn’t the knee. He’s not going to be as quick and nimble as he was 15 years ago, but he is still a great leader of the side and, even with the bat, he is still going to play a part. He knows his limitations and he is a valuable player to have on the field. He is a legend."

Although Dhoni may be struggling with a knee issue, he remains determined to lead CSK to another IPL title. The team has won four titles under his captaincy and is just one title away from matching table-toppers, Mumbai Indians. CSK has been the most consistent team in IPL history, qualifying for the second round in all 11 seasons they have participated in.
