The MS Dhoni-less Chennai Super Kings have managed to win 1 match in the season after having played four matches. They defeated the Delhi Capitals, following a hat trick of losses to the likes of the Rajasthan Royals, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and the Punjab Kings.
The former CSK batter Subramaniam Badrinath opined that the team management isn't entirely sure of the date of his return, and also went on to opine that he is absent from the dugout during CSK's games to avoid any attention coming onto him.
"It's a million-dollar question on whether MS Dhoni will return against KKR. He has started batting, and the team management themselves aren't sure about his return, which Sridharan Sriram told me. He is being assessed day by day on his likely return. Dhoni is probably not coming to the ground to ensure the attention doesn't fall on him," said Badrinath on his YouTube channel.

Badrinath believes that Sarfaraz Khan, who has been in good touch and showed some promising shotplay, was the frontline CSK batters struggled to score runs for the Men in Yellow.
"And down the order, an Indian batter has to drop out, which will be Sarfaraz. But just when the combination seemed sorted, there was confusion on who Dhoni replaces," he added.
"To his credit, he followed them," Badrinath took away the credit for Ruturaj Gaikwad's good captaincy
"Other teams are batting at a different rate compared to CSK in the powerplay. But I still think they won't change the opening combination, given that they, as is, don't change much, and definitely not after a win. What worked for Ruturaj is that the other two in the top three batted brilliantly," said Badrinath (via the aforementioned source).
