Hoping to add a few victories under their belt and improve their below-par winning record of this season, CSK are slated to face Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday.
Contrary to expectations, the Yellow Army is languishing at the bottom of the points table, with just three wins in 11 matches so far.
Dhoni's men are currently sitting at the bottom of the points table with just three wins under their belt.
MS Dhoni felt apart from luck the CSK squad has not played to its potential after Rohit Sharma-less Mumbai Indians virtually ends CSK's IPL journey with a 10-wicket win.
The only team to have a positive win-loss record against CSK are Mumbai Indians, having won 18 of their 41 T20 meetings, which includes victories in eight of their last 10 meetings.
Chennai will be up against a formidable MI side which won five games in a row before Kings XI Punjab halted the juggernaut, turning the tables in a double Super Over on Sunday night.
In the 10 previous seasons it has competed, the Chennai franchise has made the final eight times, winning it thrice.
Hoping to get back to winnings ways, the three-time champions are set to face Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians on Friday
Dhoni recently also achieved the feat of scoring 4000 runs for CSK and claiming 150 dismissals in the league.
Continuing their woeful run in the on-going IPL 2020, MS Dhoni-led CSK suffered their seventh defeat on Monday after losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven wickets
Bangar recalled an interesting story about why Dhoni curbed his natural instinct to become a 'great' finisher.
After the RR game, Dhoni said that the youngsters in the camp failed to live up to the expectations which was the reason they stuck with the experienced lot in the playing XI.
Srikkanth questioned the inclusion of Kedar Jadhav and Piyush Chawla in the playing XI while leaving out Jagadeesan.
With seven defeats in 10 games, Chennai have languished to the bottom of the table, a position they have never befriended in any of their previous 12 IPL seasons, and from what now seems is a position of no return.
Rajasthan Royals later shared the picture on Twitter with the caption, "Holding No. 7, while on cloud 9."
With the win, only their fourth in the season after 10 games, Rajasthan take the fifth spot in the points table, pushing Chennai Super Kings once again to the bottom end.
Rajasthan eventually won the match by seven wickets with 15 balls to spare. Dhoni, later explaining his move, said that there was not much for the spinners on the track as there were the pacers.
En route to his 28-ball 28 on a slowish Abu Dhabi track, Dhoni became the second player to amass 4000 runs for Chennai Super Kings after Suresh Raina.
Dhoni has been the captain of CSK since the inception of IPL in 2008. When the franchise was suspended for two years, the veteran represented Rising Pune Supergiant.
CSK made two changes, but Imran Tahir remains on the sidelines. Josh Hazlewood has been picked as Dwayne Bravo's replacement while Piyush Chawla replaced Sam Curran.
