Asked to captain Raina on the toss: Why are not Dhoni playing, you will be surprised to hear the answer.

The IPL is being played today between Chennai Super Kings and Hyderabad teams. When the two teams were tossed for this match, then one incident surprised everyone. Indeed, Suresh Raina has stepped into the ground on behalf of Chennai for the toss.

That is, Dhoni is not taking part in this match. However, surprisingly, Dhoni was taking part in warming and fielding drills in the field till some time before the toss. Chennai captain Suresh Raina won the toss and decided to bat first. He said that the decision to bat first on this pitch will be fine, and we have to show good play in the powerplay.

In the end Suresh Raina was asked, why does Dhoni not playing in this match? Raina said that he is much better now but wants to take rest, and return to the next match. Instead of Dhoni, the responsibility of the wicketkeeper will be Sam Billings.
It is remarkable that in the previous match, Dhoni was seen taking help of physio repeatedly. In such a case, he had previously skeptical about playing in this match.

Let me tell you that Suresh Raina was made vice captain of the team last year. Even before when Dhoni did not play, then Raina has taken charge of Chennai.
