MS Dhoni, who has led Chennai Super Kings to three IPL titles, went on to miss only his fourth IPL game after he did not feature in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The Captain Cool was rested owing to back spasm he suffered in CSK’s previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders. @BCCI
