Now that people have had time to recover from Mumbai Indians’ delirious race to the finish to pick up their fifth IPL title, the focus has shifted back to one of the most horrendous runs for the Chennai Super Kings. And the clamour is growing for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s head. But will it really roll in the true sense of the word?

The Chennai Super Kings will not want to alienate their fans, particularly if the IPL 2021 is staged in India, by throwing the baby out with the bathwater. That is essentially what it will be if the Chennai Super Kings throw all their cricketers back into a possible mega auction should it be held, along with their erstwhile captain to date. However, Dhoni’s place might be a gamble as other former cricketers have suggested.
