MS Dhoni underwent successful knee surgery in Mumbai: CEO of CSK Viswanathan

Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni successfully underwent left knee surgery on Thursday in a Mumbai hospital, increasing optimism that he may play in the 17th season of the Indian Premier League next year.

Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL title, flew to Mumbai from Ahmedabad after the final on Monday and consulted renowned sports orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is also a member of the BCCI medical panel and has operated on a number of top Indian cricketers, including Rishabh Pant.

“Yes, Dhoni underwent successful knee surgery on Thursday at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital.” He is doing well, and the procedure was performed in the morning. I don’t have any specifics. “I have yet to receive all of the details about the nature of the surgery and other things,” CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told PTI.

It has been learned that Dhoni has already been released from the hospital following a keyhole surgery for “arthroscopic repair.”

“He was already released from the hospital and returned to Ranchi.” He’d be relaxing at home for a few days before beginning his rigorous recuperation. It is now envisaged that he would have enough time to recover in time to play in the next IPL,” a source close to CSK management told PTI on condition of anonymity.

Dhoni had spent the entire season with heavy strapping on his left knee, and while he looked good when wicket-keeping, he batted as low as No. 8 at times and didn’t look at ease dashing between the wickets.

Viswanathan stated on Wednesday that Dhoni’s decision to have surgery is entirely up to the legendary captain.
