MS Dhoni, who underwent knee surgery in Mumbai soon after leading the Chennai Super Kings to their 5th IPL title, will be out of action for some time.
Before MSD flew back to Ranchi, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan met Dhoni and revealed that Dhoni told him he'll rest for three weeks and then start his rehab.
'As he said, he's not going to play until January-February. and we don't need to remind him about all that. He knows what to do and how to go about it. So, we aren't going to ask him,' the CEO told ESPNcricinfo.
Viswanathan also opened up on the alleged rift between Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja.
'Whenever he [Jadeja] went in to bat, he had 5-10 balls left. In such situations, it can or can't click sometimes. But the thing is he also knew Dhoni was to come in next, and he himself would get just 2-3 balls sometimes. In such situations whenever he went in, the crowd used to welcome Dhoni. In a way, he may have felt hurt. Any player for that matter may have had that pressure. But he didn't complain about it even though he put out a tweet,' Viswanathan added.
