Dhoni was struggling with his fitness in the last game against RR, but on Sunday he was looking completely fit and had a smile on his face during his batting practise, and this can come as great news for CSK fans because MSD had huge experience playing at the M. Chidambaram Stadium, which can benefit the team in the game.
