MS Dhoni drops another classic, intervenes question for Rachin Ravindra with mic-drop ‘captaincy’ remark.

CSK’s former skipper MS Dhoni had a brilliant remark after the anchor asked Rachin Ravindra over his dropped catch in the match against GT. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for his composed demeanour on the field; rarely has the former CSK captain lost his cool. And according to him, his successor, Ruturaj Gaikwad, also possesses a similar trait. Gaikwad was named the new CSK skipper after Dhoni stepped down from the role ahead of the 2024 edition. The batter has made a solid start in his new innings as the side’s captain, leading CSK to victories in both of its opening matches. During a promotional event, Dhoni was asked about one of the incidents that took place on the field during CSK’s second match of the season against Gujarat Titans. In the 15th over of GT’s run-chase, the side’s young star Rachin Ravindra dropped Sai Sudharsan’s catch, and the anchor asked the young Kiwi batter how he responded to the setback and whether or not he looked at MS Dhoni after the incident. In a rather hilarious intervention, Dhoni said, “Well, there’s a new captain!” Dhoni, then, said that he doesn’t react to such incidents particularly when the player is young and new. “It (muscle memory) is there. But, I am not somebody who reacts a lot, especially when somebody is playing his first game or second game. I think Rutu (Ruturaj) is quite the same. But it was fun to watch him (Rachin) move all round the ground,” Dhoni added.
