WATCH: Fans react to Dhoni's 'leg-spinner' avatar ahead of KXIP vs CSK clash

Dhoni came up with a skill that surprised many. The veteran was seen practicing leg spin in a video, posted by the official Twitter handle of IPL

The sheer presence of MS Dhoni on the pitch creates a lot of pressure for opposition teams and it is quite difficult to fill the veteran stumper's absence when he is not around. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper has been in superb form with the bat this year. With 358 runs in 12 matches so far, Dhoni is the leading run-scorer for CSK. Meanwhile, Dhoni came up with a skill that surprised many. The veteran was seen practicing leg spin in a video, posted by the official Twitter handle of IPL.

Dhoni missed two games for CSK this season due to fever and stiff back, and on both occasion they ended on the losing side. Asked Raina how challenging it was to lead CSK in Dhoni's absence, he replied: "I think losing him (Dhoni) as a captain is not an issue, losing him as a batsman is always difficult for us. That's what happened for us against Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians. "When he comes to the crease a lot of pressure is created for other teams. When he is not in the team, we see the difference."
