Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni has successfully undergone surgery on his left knee after struggling for the majority of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Dhoni, dismissed for a golden duck in the final of the IPL, led his side to a record-equalling fifth title as his side got the better of defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the early hours of Tuesday, May 30 morning. The knee issue had consistently troubled Dhoni in the 2023 season and needed repair.

<h2>Successful surgery in Mumbai on Dhoni</h2>

"Yes, Dhoni has had a successful knee surgery at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai on Thursday," a CSK source was quoted as saying by PTI.

"He is doing fine and will be released in a day or two. He would be resting for a few days before his extensive rehabilitation starts. It is now expected that he would have enough time to get fit to play in the next IPL."

The former India captain was far from his best in the entire season and played at No.8 to avoid longer runs in the batting unit. Now 41, Dhoni needed heavy strapping on his left knee to avoid any serious damage and miss a chunk of the tournament. He played in all 16 matches for the franchise while scoring only 104 runs.

Earlier on Wednesday it was quoted Dhoni will take medical advice before he decides to have surgery. The CSK skipper is still optimistic to play in the 2024 season of the IPL and hasn’t ruled out the possibility to feature again in the famous yellow jersey.

"Yes, it is true that Dhoni will be taking medical advice for his left knee injury and accordingly decide," Chennai Super Kings' CEO Kasi Viswanathan said on Wednesday to PTI.

"If surgery is advised, it can only be ascertained after reports come out; it will be completely his call."

Viswanathan was also questioned Dhoni’s availability for next season despite him claiming, he would return for "at least" one more season for the fans. If Dhoni does decide to retire from IPL it will free a purse of INR 15 crore for CSK to spend in the mini-auction for the 2023-24 season.

<h2>Dhoni leads CSK to fifth title</h2>

In a rain-merged contest at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Dhoni and Co needed a final-ball finish to win the IPL 2023 title. Needing 10 off the last two balls, Ravindra Jadeja produced the goods with a six and a four to win CSK’s fifth title. The defeat of Gujarat Titans also denied them a rare defence of the IPL title as they failed to win the contest.

MS Dhoni successfully undergoes knee surgery in Mumbai after guiding CSK to fifth IPL title

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni will consult experts for issues surrounding his left knee after guiding Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to their record-equalling fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title on Monday, May 29. Dhoni, 41, has been facing knee issues for the entire season amidst&nbsp;calls for his retirement. However, those calls were shut down by Dhoni after lifting the IPL trophy as he insisted on time before the next season begins.

"Frankly, we are not even thinking along those lines as we haven't reached that stage," Viswanathan said.

"It will be completely Dhoni's call. But I can tell you, in CSK, we haven't entertained those thoughts."

The win saw several records rewritten as Ambati Rayudu now joins Rohit Sharma as the joint-most successful player in the history of the tournament with six titles. On the flip side, Dhoni also became the joint-most successful captain with his fifth IPL title, again joining Rohit Sharma. CSK also became the most successful team alongside Mumbai Indians, with five IPL titles.

MS Dhoni to consult experts for knee issue after guiding CSK to record-equaling fifth IPL title

MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lost their home game to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 17 of the IPL 2023 edition on Wednesday (April 12) in Chennai. Asking Sanju Samson-led RR to bat first, Chennai restricted the one-time winners to 175 for 8 after Jos Buttler's 52 and contributions from Devdutt Padikkal, R Ashwin, and Shimron Hetymer.

In reply, CSK was restricted to 172 for 6 despite a late flourish from MS Dhoni (32 not out off 17 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja's 15-ball 25*. Needing 54 off 18 balls, after a flurry of wickets fell in the middle overs, Chennai took the game deep courtesy of Dhoni and Jadeja's big hits but couldn't take their side past the finish line as they fell short by three runs. After the match, Matthew Hayden -- former Australia and CSK opener -- raised fitness concerns for Dhoni&nbsp;as he observed him to be having some issues in running between wickets.&nbsp;

In a video shared by CSK's official Twitter handle, Dhoni was seen struggling to walk properly as he entered the dressing room. Here's the clip:

IPL 2023: CSK fans, look away! MS Dhoni walks in pain after Chennai's RR loss - Watch

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) injury woes could get worse after skipper MS Dhoni’s knee issue could be the latest headache for the team management. Dhoni, having failed to take his team over the line in a thrilling last-over finish against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League, is struggling with a knee issue. The legendary star, playing in his 200th match as skipper of CSK, scored 32 off 17 but failed to hit a six on the last ball against Sandeep Sharma on Wednesday, April 12.

"He is nursing a knee injury, which you can see in some of his movement, which is hindering him somewhat," Fleming said after the game.

"But still what you saw today is a great player for us. His fitness has always been very professional."

If Dhoni fails to recover from the knee issue which has troubled him for a while, he could be unavailable for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) clash. However, head coach Stephen Fleming is optimistic about Dhoni’s chances while also stating that he has managed his injury well.

"He comes a month before the tournament starts, so he doesn't get the opportunity to do a lot [before that]," Fleming said.

"He will stay fit, they will do some netting in Ranchi, but his main pre-season [fitness] is done a month before when he comes to Chennai. And he works his way back into match-form and I think you can still see he's playing pretty well. So we never have any doubts about the way he manages himself and he always gets himself up to speed."

Dhoni was seen wearing a kneecap during the pre-season and in the nets as CSK prepared for the IPL 2023. The 41-year-old was seen struggling during the running between the wickets and hesitated to convert singles into twos.

While it is too early to comment on Dhoni’s availability for Monday’s clash against RCB, it won’t be a surprise if makes the match-day squad. It was also predicted that Dhoni could miss the season opener against Gujarat Titans (GT), but he nursed his injury while also playing some important cameo knocks. In four matches of the IPL 2023 Dhoni has scored 58 runs with a best unbeaten of 32.

CSK are already without Sisanda Magala, Deepak Chahar, Ben Stokes and Simarjeet Singh as they all continue to be part of the treatment table.
