The captain of Chennai Super Kings changed before the start of IPL. Chennai announced the name of the new captain. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is no longer the captain this time. Ruturaj Gaikwad is the new captain of Chennai. The announcement was made 24 hours before the start of the IPL. On this day, the photo shoot of the captains in Chennai, Ruthuraj was seen instead of Dhoni.
That Dhoni doesn’t want to captain the IPL for a long time was a long time ago. There was speculation about who could be his successor. First there was Ruturaj’s name. 27-year-old Ruturaj can captain for a long time. On top of that, he was being put forward because of his experience of leading domestic cricket. He also led the national team in the Asian Games. In the end Ruturaj was chosen.
Chennai captain was changed once before. This is how Ravindra Jadeja was suddenly made the captain just before the start of the 2022 competition. Even then Dhoni himself handed over the responsibility to him. But that plan failed at the beginning. Under Jadeja, Chennai kept losing one match after another. After only eight matches, Dhoni replaced Jadeja and returned to the charge. But could not save the team from danger. Chennai finished ninth in the points table.
