After two defeats in the first three games, Chennai Super Kings won only one and the captain MS Dhoni is under the scrutiny, but Sourav Ganguly - the former Indian captain and current president of BCCI, has backed Dhoni citing that a certain game time is required for the players to get back in form.

"In the current situation, it will take some time for him to get back his old touch. He played a cricket match after about 1 year and 6 months. It's not easy however good you are. It will take some time" Ganguly revealed at a media interaction session after he became the brand ambassador of the Bengal Peerless Group.

Meanwhile, several eyebrows raised over Dhoni’s decision regarding his batting position as he came to bat number 7 and 6 despite the critical situation of the team while chasing big totals. Even, Ganguly too thinks Dhoni should bat up in the order.

"When Dhoni was in prime form and was the captain, then I was in broadcast and had said that he would bat at No 4," said Ganguly.

However, he last played for India more than one year ago in the semi-final of ICC Cricket World Cup  in 2019. And, due to COVID-19, all the sporting events have been either cancelled or postponed which certainly affected several players’ performances.
