IPL 2018: Major boost for MS Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming revealed that the team's captain MS Dhoni will be promoted up the batting order and the decision will be taken depending on the conditions of the game.

"MS will bat relatively high. It's not necessarily a position with him. But he will definitely play a more prominent role as a batsman," said Fleming.

"We've picked Jadhav, Rayudu, Jadeja and Bravo, so we can plan the middle phase," added Fleming.

CSK will face the defending champions Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener on Saturday.
