Clever Dhoni managing CSK and himself brilliantly: Manjrekar

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar praised Dhoni for the way he's managing his teammates, as well as himself because the knee injury seems to be pestering him constantly.

Speaking on Star Sports' Cricket Live, Sanjay Manjrekar said, "MS Dhoni is a clever cricketer. He knows his limitations. We are seeing a new avatar of him this season. Earlier he used to manage the team, this year, he's also managing himself."

Chennai Super Kings host Punjab Kings at Chepauk in the day game of TATA IPL 2023 on Sunday. It will be the 999th game of the Incredible T20 League and the MS Dhoni-led side will be aiming to return to winning ways after facing a big defeat in Jaipur.

Punjab Kings also suffered a big defeat against Lucknow Super Giants in a high-scoring game at home in their previous encounter on captain Shikhar Dhawan's return.

CSK's biggest strength this season is the way their batters are firing and the way skipper MS Dhoni is leading them by optimising his resources to perfection.
