I don’t have the specifics. “I haven’t received all of the details about the nature of the surgery and other things,” CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told PTI.Former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, an enthusiastic CSK supporter, praised Dhoni for his strength and dedication in response to the news of Dhoni’s knee surgery. Sivaramakrishnan described Dhoni as a “warrior,” saying he played the entire season on “one leg” and did not let the agony interfere with his “clarity of thought.”
