Batting Coach Matthew Hayden: Former Mumbai cricketer Aditya Tare stressed the importance of MS Dhoni in Chennai Super Kings’ setup ahead of their key fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, stating that the former CSK captain’s experience in a relatively young side, especially in high-pressure encounters, will be crucial.

“Chennai Super Kings need MS Dhoni more than ever. If he is fit to play, he has to play against Sunrisers Hyderabad in any capacity. I would personally want him to keep wickets for the full 20 overs because he is excellent behind the stumps. No disrespect to Sanju’s wicket-keeping, but you need that experience,” Tare told JioStar.

With Chennai preparing for a crucial outing, Tare believes Dhoni’s leadership and on-field inputs could prove decisive in tight situations, particularly for a side blending youth with experience.
