The Chennai Super Kings team has been training in Surat for the last three weeks. Since Deepak Sahar and Moin Ali will not be in the squad for the first match, Dhoni and the coaches have been consulting on how to build a quality XI with substitutes. In this situation, Dhoni has resigned from the post of captain and given the post to Ravindra Jadeja.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni had amassed 416 runs in 15 matches in 2019 with an average of 83.20. Following this, he managed to score only 200 runs in 14 matches in 2020. The average has gone from 83 to just 25. This was followed by just 114 runs in 16 games last season with an average of just 16.
He’s out of form like this, playing in action for the 15th season and is in a position to prove who he is. He is also considered to be more likely to be dropped from the XI in some key matches if he plays perhaps badly.
Ambati Rayudu Sketch:
In this situation, Ambati Rayudu is expected to be the wicket-keeper-batsman to replace Dhoni. Having only played as a batsman, he was suddenly mentioned as the wicket-keeper-batsman in the mega auction. Following this, CSK also beat him. Thus, cricket critics believe that if Dhoni is unable to play in some matches, the place will go to veteran Ambati Rayudu.
