MS Dhoni’s return to the IPL with the Chennai Super Kings has sparked discussions about how he will be utilized this season. Questions surround whether he will play as an Impact Player or continue his role behind the stumps, especially considering his knee issues and advancing career phase. In the previous IPL season, Dhoni batted lower down the order, contributing quick runs towards the end of the innings. Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin expressed his opinion that Dhoni should either play a full role in the team or not play at all, dismissing the idea of him being an Impact Player. He emphasized Dhoni’s importance in guiding the team on the field and how his batting position may change with the new lineup. Ashwin believes Dhoni will play a critical role in supporting the bowling lineup and providing leadership on the field. With a stronger top order, Dhoni may have fewer opportunities to bat higher up in the order, relying on his keeping skills and strategic inputs to benefit the team.
