Ben Stokes, the England all-rounder, will be out of action for another week due to a toe injury, according to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming. Stokes played only the first two games for CSK in the Indian Premier League (IPL) before being ruled out of the match against Mumbai Indians on April 8. He has missed four matches so far.
Fleming said that while Stokes has suffered an injury setback, it’s not major, and he’s working hard to get back to full fitness. Meanwhile, CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is completely fine and has been managing his injury well. Fleming praised Dhoni’s skills as a wicketkeeper, calling him an “absolute craftsman” and “masterclass” behind the stumps.
CSK recently beat SunRisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in their latest IPL match.
