Savior Chinna Thala! Watch Suresh Raina lends his support to limping MS Dhoni

Dhoni has been having knee issues since the start of the IPL 2023 season, and despite undergoing surgery, it seems like his condition hasn’t improved.

Suresh Raina may have retired, but he hasn’t left MS Dhoni’s side. The former Chennai Super Kings star has now turned into an IPL commentator but is present when his skipper needs his help. After Chennai’s match against the Mumbai Indians, Raina came to Dhoni’s aid, helping him get down the stairs and into the team bus.

Dhoni had been struggling with his knee last year and was seen limping. He’s since undergone surgery, but the issue seems to still persist. The former CSK skipper has been spotted limping in the ongoing IPL 2024 season. Raina, who’d finished his commentating duties, was seen having a chat and lending his support to Dhoni as he made his way down the stairs.

CSK coach confirms MS Dhoni is injured

CSK bowling coach Eric Simmons opened up about MS Dhoni’s fitness. After the Mumbai Indians match, in the post-match press conference, he said:

“Everyone else is more interested in his injuries than he is. He’s one of the hardest men I’ve ever come across. I don’t even think we know to what extent he may or may not be in pain. He just carries on and does his thing.”

“I’m sure there’s some niggles. He just has that ability to ignore what it is and do what needs to be done. We’re more concerned about his injuries. When I say we, I mean the public (which) is more concerned about his injuries than he is.”
