Mahendra Singh Dhoni left the captaincy
Fans of CSK and MS Dhoni were taken aback by the revelation. It was made the night before CSK’s debut game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Before the TATA IPL 2024 season begins, MS Dhoni has given Ruturaj Gaikwad the captaincy of the Chennai Super Kings, the team said in an official statement. “Ruturaj has participated in 52 IPL games since joining the Chennai Super Kings in 2019 and is a valuable member of the team. The group is excited about the next campaign,” it said. Since 2008, Dhoni has been in charge of the CSK team. With the exception of 2020 and 2022, Chennai has made the playoffs in every season under his leadership. He won as many as five titles. One of the most recent was in the 2023 edition. Despite having a weak knee throughout the competition, Dhoni led CSK to a record-tying fifth victory last season. Many questioned at the time whether it would be his final farewell, but the former Indian captain assured them he would be back the following year.
Did MS Dhoni leave the captaincy permanently?
Notably, this is not the first time that Dhoni has delegated the captaincy armband to a different player. In the 2022 season, for a brief period of time, Dhoni gave all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja the captaincy duties. It happened before taking back control and leading the team to victory.
