Dhoni plays with 'Champak', return buzz grows ahead of CSK vs MI clash

Fans are eagerly waiting for MS Dhoni to return to the field after nursing a calf strain. He has been sidelined for CSK's first six matches and has had intense training sessions at Wankhede Stadium, including wicketkeeping and batting stints. Dhoni was spotted playing with a robot dog during practice, indicating his lighter side. His presence in training suggests he could take up wicketkeeping duties or be used as an Impact Player for CSK.
