Home Affairs: Problems aplenty for Super Kings

With injured Ruturaj remaining doubtful, Dhoni might lead Chennai against Delhi on Saturday

For the first time this season, Chennai Super Kings will be under pressure at home when they take on Delhi Capitals on Saturday afternoon.

Having lost their previous two games, the hosts' thinktank would have been burning the midnight oil to try and arrest the slide. The biggest concern for them would be the fitness of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. He got hit in the right forearm by Tushar Deshpande in the previous game against Rajasthan Royals.

CSK batting coach Mike Hussey said that they would take a call on his inclusion after the training session on Friday. "Yeah, we're hoping. He's (Ruturaj) going to try and have a bat. It's still a little bit sore, but it's improving every day. So we're very hopeful, very confident that he'll be fine for Saturday. If not, we have some young guy (MS Dhoni) coming up, he's doing really well behind the stumps," said Hussey.
