Their next game becomes important as they look to avoid a fourth straight defeat and get their campaign back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Brevis\u2019 likely inclusion offers an attacking option in the middle overs. Known for his aggressive approach, he can provide the acceleration CSK have been missing. The side has struggled to maintain momentum through the middle phase, and Brevis could help bridge that gap.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has also not found form so far, adding to the team\u2019s concerns. A stronger middle-order showing will be key if CSK are to post or chase competitive totals.<\/p>\n<h3>Dhoni return expected to add balance<\/h3>\n<p>Dhoni, who has been dealing with a calf issue, is expected to return next week. His presence behind the stumps and input on the field remains important, especially for a side looking for direction during a difficult run.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond batting, Dhoni\u2019s experience in managing pressure situations and guiding bowlers could help stabilise the team. His return comes at a time when CSK need clarity in decision-making and better execution across phases.<\/p>\n<p>With crucial matches ahead, CSK will be hoping these additions help address their current issues and bring more balance to the side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chennai Super Kings are set for key returns with Dewald Brevis likely to feature against Delhi Capitals on April 11,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":47489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48059"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48060,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48059\/revisions\/48060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
