Imran Tahir with figures of 4 for 27 was one of the architects of CSK's victory over Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.

Who between the two finally seals the second wicket-keeper's spot is likely to be the most discussed topic during the meeting on Monday.

Russell has been the team's go-to man and his possible absence might hurt the home team big.

Kolkata's consistency has taken a beating after two defeats on the trot, first in Chennai and then against Delhi Capitals while Chennai have continued to do win matches somehow.

Dhoni has been criticised by one and all but Sehwag is the first A list former India cricketer to demand suspension for his former teammate.

In a rare public show of anger, Dhoni breached the Players' Code of Conduct entering the field of play to challenge one of the umpires Ulhas Gandhe after he signalled no-ball only to backtrack.

Former cricketers came down heavily on India's two-time World Cup-winning captain for his actions, saying the CSK skipper set a wrong precedent.

In a rare instance, Dhoni, who was not even meant to be on the field of play, lost his cool and rushed out of the dug-out to challenge umpire Ulhas Gandhe after he flip-flopped on a no-ball in a match played on Thursday night.

While the CSK captain was fined 50 per cent of his match fee, some have called it a lenient decision because he is Dhoni.

BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry said that it was indeed a scenario where just like players, code of conduct must be brought in even for the umpires.

MS Dhoni lost his cool and rushed into the field of play to confront Indian umpire Ulhas Gandhe after he flip-flopped on a no-ball on Thursday night, which led to a fine on the former Indian captain.

In a rare instance, MS Dhoni, who was not even meant to be on the field of play, lost his cool and rushed out of the dug-out to challenge the umpires after a no-ball decision was overturned.

Overall, MS Dhoni has captained in 166 IPL games -- won 100, lost 65 and one game ended in a no-result.

An infuriated MS Dhoni walked into the field of play after a no-ball given by the on-field umpire Ulhas Gandhe was overturned by the square-leg umpire Bruce Oxenford.

Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni urged his players to enjoy the wins but also learn from their mistakes.

MS Dhoni admitted to the Level 2 offence 2.20 of the IPL's Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction after Chennai Super Kings' win over Rajasthan Royals.

VIRAL PHOTO alert: A couple of days ago, a picture of MS Dhoni and Sakshi Dhoni sleeping on the floor went viral. Now, Anand Ahuja and Sonam Kapoor were also seen squatting on the airport floor.

In absolute drama in the last over, Ben Stokes caved in under pressure as Ravindra Jadeja and Santner scored the winning runs with 18 required in the last over of the match. 

Bravo feels that it always helps to have the backing of the crowd as that also brings out the best in the players.

On paper, CSK are favourites as they sit atop the points table, but then, this game is not played on paper.
