Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni dearly missed his batting stalwart, Ambati Rayudu during their second game against Rajasthan Royals (RR) as the latter suffered a hamstring injury. However, during a recent chat with ANI, CSK CEO, Kasi Viswnatham revealed that the batsman has been recovering well and will need at most one more game to be back in the playing XI.

CSK CEO said, “Nothing to worry about. He has the hamstring injury, but will at worst miss one more game. But you never know, he might be fit in time for that game.”

CSK will now be locking horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in their next game at the Dubai Cricket Stadium on Friday. In fact, they have a gap before playing their fourth game of the season on October 2 against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Dubai.

Rayudu played a crucial role in CSK winning the opening match of the season against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. He played a fluent knock of 71 and put on a match-winning partnership with Faf du Plessis – something they missed in their second match on Tuesday night against Rajasthan Royals.

Speaking after the opening match heroics against MI, Rayudu had said: “We were training in lockdown, we were really eager and as we get older, we need to train so we were training. The pitch was good, once the dew came on, the pitch quickened a bit, it was doing a bit with the new ball. We practiced in Chennai, it really helped and we then practiced in Dubai, so I was feeling good.”
