The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team will face SRH on Monday, May 18, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. CSK are at sixth in the points table with 12 points from 12 matches.

“I have a feeling that against Sunrisers Hyderabad, there is a good chance of MS Dhoni playing. Let’s wait and see how it goes. As far as I have heard, he has been ready to take the field for the last two to three games,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
The wicketkeeper also stayed away from the squad during home games to avoid unnecessary attention. However, the management could consider bringing the veteran into the playing XI in place of Prashant Veer, who has struggled with the bat in recent matches.
