Dhoni's absence in a few games this season has proved that he is the most significant player in the side. The captain will play a crucial role in the playoffs and the finals. Concerned teams will be strategizing on how to minimize Dhoni's impact with the bat in their faceoff.

If the other players of CSK are complacent due to the MSD factor, then it will be hard for them to seize the trophy. Everyone should make sure to play their part well especially the batsmen. Just like the finals of last season, they should try to close their batting successfully even before MS Dhoni makes it to the crease.

At least they should do the maximum work that Dhoni would find it easy to add the necessary runs when he bats. If the team is depending on Dhoni to play an anchor role in batting, then they are doomed for sure. The likes of Rayudu, Raina, and Kedar Jadhav have to step up and get crucial runs. They should even try to stay till the end and close out the innings.
