MS Dhoni to undergo Knee surgery
Dhoni checked into a Mumbai hospital and is scheduled for knee surgery on Thursday, according to the Cricbuzz website. The captain of the Chennai Super Kings is consulting with Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is the hospital’s director of sports medicine and specializes in sports orthopedics, according to a Cricbuzz report.
Dr. Pardiwala is a similar expert who is treating another wicketkeeper-hitter Rishabh Gasp. After a terrible car accident in December of last year, the Delhi Capitals captain was out for the entire IPL 2023 season.

What Stephen Fleming has to say?
Stephen Fleming, the team coach, had acknowledged in the middle of the season that Dhoni was constantly bothered by an injury to his left knee during the IPL 2023 season. Dhoni has a knee injury that is limiting him in some ways, as you can see in some of his movements. Still, the player you saw is excellent for us. His wellness has forever been extremely proficient,” Fleming had said.
