There is much speculation over Dhoni will play or not. Amid all the speculations, it seems the franchise may just hold Dhoni back a little further considering his age and the fact that the body may not be able to take the grind. While Dhoni may not feature in the game against Punjab, Dewald Brevis may return to the side. If Brevis returns, it will be a big boost for CSK. While captain Ruturaj Gaikwad remained non-committal about the Brevis' participation, but South African batted in the nets away from the main group and looked comfortable.
