After three back-to-back last-ball thrillers fans were delighted to witness glimpses of vintage MS Dhoni against Rajasthan Royals. The former India skipper, along with Ravindra Jadeja, nearly pulled off an amazing run chase as they hammered 37 runs in the last two overs although they failed to cross the line. Meanwhile, after the game, former Australia cricketer, Mathew Hayden raised concerns over Dhoni’s fitness.

While speaking with one of the broadcasters, Hayden pointed out that Dhoni was limping during the innings and raised a potential injury concern for the yellow army. Although the former CSK legend claimed he wasn’t attempting to make things worse, Dhoni’s fitness might be a problem for the four-time IPL champions.

According to Hayden, the 41-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is typically quick between the wickets, but that wasn’t the case against Rajasthan Royals. Hayden said, “We will not give fans the false expectations that nothing’s wrong. There is something wrong with MS Dhoni. His running between the wickets is usually quite electric, which was not there today.”

Further speaking on the issue, Hayden said, “As the innings progressed on, we saw him limping quite heavily. There are some question marks, that I am sure MS Dhoni will have to answer and the medical staff will get straight into it. He will want to keep playing in the tournament.”

Meanwhile, CSK coach Stephen Fleming revealed MS Dhoni’s fitness as he said that the former India skipper is nursing a knee injury. Talking with reporters after the game Fleming said, “He is nursing a knee injury, which you can see in some of his movement, hindering him somewhat. His fitness has been professional. He comes in months before the tournament starts. He does some nets in Ranchi, but his main pre-season is a month before he comes to Chennai.”
