"MS is going really well. Hopefully, he'll be back as soon as possible. I'm not sure if that will be tomorrow or the match after, but he's progressing well, " batting coach Michael Hussey added.

"Once he feels confident in his calf, I'm sure he'll give the signal that he's ready to go. At the moment, we're guided by him. We're waiting. I think all of Chennai is waiting," he added.
