The focus is on the potential return of MS Dhoni to the active roster for the Southern Derby between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Hyderabad. Dhoni has been undergoing a rehabilitation program for a calf strain and is close to match fitness, with a possibility of featuring in the game. Meanwhile, Chennai may consider Mukesh Choudhary as a replacement for Khaleel Ahmed, who is unavailable for the match. Ruturaj Gaikwad, the CSK captain, is struggling with form this season but has the backing of coach Stephen Fleming. The probable XII for CSK includes Gaikwad, Sanju Samson, and potential players like Choudhary or Matt Henry. The match is anticipated to be a thrilling encounter with the potential return of Dhoni adding excitement to the mix.
