Everyone’s eyes will be on Mahendra Singh Dhoni again. He scored 27 out of 12 balls in the last match against Punjab Kings, including three sixes and a four. The good thing for the Chennai team is that batsmen like Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dubey indicated to gain momentum, but Captain Rituraj Gaikwad needs a big turn.
