Pune: The large audience at MCA Stadium cheered in unison as MS Dhoni walked out for the toss on Sunday evening.

With Ravindra Jadeja having stepped down from the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) leadership role yesterday to focus on his cricket, the captaincy was once again officially back with the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman.

Such was the noise, commentator Danny Morrison could barely hear Dhoni speak after he lost the toss to Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson.

Congratulating the 40-year-old for leading CSK again, Morrison asked him about his future with the IPL franchise which he has led to four titles.

“You will definitely see me in the yellow jersey (next year)… whether this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey, that’s a different thing,” Dhoni said.

Watch the video clip tweeted by IPL:


Dhoni, the skipper, has his task cut out as CSK have lost 6 of their 8 matches and languish in ninth place before Sunday’s match. To have any chance of finishing in the top 4 and qualifying for the playoffs, CSK have to win their remaining six games.

“You need to realise the current situation. We have dropped catches, those are the things you want to omit. Those are the areas you need to work on,” Dhoni said, stressing on the need to improve on several fronts.
