Chennai: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming Tuesday said captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had been "pretty sick" last week and a call on his participation in the game against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday will be taken before the toss.
"Dhoni is progressing and he's been pretty sick during this week. We will make a call on him tomorrow. He is progressing which is good," Fleming told reporters on eve of the game against Delhi Capitals.
Dhoni didn't take part in Tuesday's training session and also missed the practice on Monday.
He also said the performance in the game against Mumbai Indians (which CSK lost) on April 26 was not due to the couple of changes forced on the team with Dhoni being ruled out for the second time this season.
"We had a couple of changes forced upon us in the last game, but the performance was not due to the fact that we had made those changes. We are more comfortable going into this game. We have been pretty good, from success-wise, here at Chepauk. "Sometimes, just getting jolted out of the rhythm can be a good thing. Coming down the business end of the tournament, there is a lot on the line each game, so we are well aware of getting the selections right. We want to be as consistent as possible," he said.
He added: "Faf's been fine. Whenever he wears a singlet, means he is in good shape. Jadeja's training well. They are definitely into consideration for tomorrow."
