It was told to TOI that surgery is an option that Dhoni may explore to get 100 % fit. But the decision won’t be taken in a hurry and Dhoni will weigh the pros and cons of it before taking the call.
It won’t be off the mark to suggest that surgery is required if he has to get back to his best. But it will mean a long period of rehabilitation and at 42, whether that will allow him to be at his best for the next IPL is a matter of conjecture.
