'Dhoni's knee has not been 100 percent': Hussey on CSK skipper batting down the order

NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Mike Hussey has shed light on skipper MS Dhoni's approach of batting down the order, citing his knee injury as the reason. Hussey stated, "It's pretty clear that he likes to come in the last few overs, that's his plan. His knee has not been 100 percent, and he's trying to get through the matches as best as he can throughout the tournament. He doesn't want to come in early and have to run quick doubles, putting pressure on the knee."

Hussey acknowledged Dhoni's preference to delay his entry into the game in order to make a significant impact in the latter stages of the innings. Dhoni puts faith in his teammates, as Hussey explained, "He shows a lot of backing and faith in the likes of Dube, Jadeja, Rahane, and Rayudu to do the job before he comes in."
