In an unexpected development, two of the biggest legends of the Indian Premier League (IPL), MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, may miss this season’s blockbuster clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Thursday, April 23.
MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma are set to undergo a last-minute fitness test but reports suggest that they will miss this high-voltage “El Clasico” at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
