MS Dhoni skips pre-match conference

NEW DELHI: In the shadow of the IPL spot-fixing scandal, Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni on Saturday skipped the pre-match news conference ahead of the IPL 6 final at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.

According to Times Now, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma also skipped the briefing as both the team coaches, Stephen Fleming of Chennai Super Kings and John Wright of Mumbai Indians, would be addressing the pre-match conference.

CSK seem to be a team in turmoil after Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of BCCI president N Srinivasan and the CEO of the side, was arrested by the Mumbai police on Friday.

Embroiled in the spot-fixing scam, becoming champions for a third time would be a daunting task for the Chennai Super Kings when they take on the formidable Mumbai Indians in the summit clash of the scandal-marred Indian Premier League on Sunday.

It will be a huge challenge for the Chennai players and their skipper to cope up with the situation and play their natural game against a team, which is keen to win that elusive trophy.

Chennai have been a part of four consecutive, five overall, finals but it is the best chance for Mumbai to take a good shot at the title and avenge their 2010 final defeat.
