Gujarat have defeated Chennai twice in two games. CSK would like to change that with a win to get things started. That would be a perfect start for Dhoni and his men.
During a net session recently, Dhoni was reluctant to take it and wore a camouflage kneecap to partially shield his left leg. The CSK skipper then stretched and pressed his leg towards the ground to assess his condition. he then walked out to the nets with a roar from the crowd.
