But the biggest question is whether he is fit to take the field at Eden Gardens. Dhoni was seen at the Kolkata airport as hundreds of his fans gathered around to get a glimpse of him.

If the veteran wicket-keeper batsman is not fit to play, Ravindra Jadeja or Ben Stokes are the likely candidates to lead the side. However, Stokes is also suffering from an injury, which puts his availability also in doubt.

As far as the fans are concerned it will be a huge disappointment if Dhoni is not fit to play. Several MS Dhoni fan club members in Kolkata are preparing to make it a special occasion as

Dhoni recently played his 200th match as captain of Chennai Super Kings. They will come to Eden Gardens wearing Dhoni face masks, making it a great sight.
