The situation around the 44-year-old turned more interesting, as he was not seen on the sideline during the matches. Why, MS Dhoni was not even on the sidelines in the previous games. Ahead of CSK’s upcoming match against their arch-rival, the Mumbai Indians (MI), the batting coach of CSK, Michael Hussey, revealed why the former skipper opted not to sit in the dugout during the matches.
MSD himself is well aware of his massive fan following. So to maintain all the focus on the team, Dhoni found it better to stay away from the ground. Hussey stated that the former cricketer does not want to see the focus shift from the team to him. The coach made it clear that the decision not to come into the field during the games is purely made by Dhoni himself, not by the team management.

“And he really wanted the team to just be able to go about their job, do our thing. Whether that's right or wrong, that's not my decision to sort out. But that's the thinking behind Dhoni not wanting to come to the matches,” he added further.

"Obviously, he's been watching very closely back home. I personally love having him around the dressing room. He offers so much wisdom. He offers so much confidence to the rest of the guys. So he's obviously at training all the time and always has a bubbly personality around training and offers a lot of his experience to the players there. But it was just a case he didn't want to see himself as a distraction to the rest of the team, and that's why he decided on game day just to sort of stay away,” the CSK batting coach said.
