Nitish Kumar Reddy has spoken about the value of mental strength, pointing to MS Dhoni as the example he follows. He said Dhoni\u2019s success comes from clarity of thought and calm decision-making under pressure.<\/p>\n
Reddy\u2019s point is simple. Skills matter, but mindset decides how long you last. He believes failures are part of the process, and the ability to stay composed through them is what separates top players. It is a view shaped by watching Dhoni closely, both on television and on the ground.<\/p>\n
Dhoni, now 44, is yet to feature this season due to a calf issue. He has arrived in Hyderabad ahead of the game on April 18, but his availability remains uncertain. His presence alone changes the mood around Chennai Super Kings, who are currently placed eighth.<\/p>\n
For Reddy, the possibility of sharing the field with his idol adds another layer to the contest. Whether that happens or not will depend on Dhoni\u2019s fitness closer to match time.<\/p>\n
Sunrisers Hyderabad come into the game with momentum and sit fourth on the table. Reddy has been in good form and remains central to their balance.<\/p>\n
CSK, meanwhile, are trying to steady their season after a slow start. The contest shapes up as one between a side building rhythm and another still searching for it. If Dhoni plays, it could shift the balance. If not, CSK will have to find answers without him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
