Ruturaj Gaikwad takes over Chennai Super Kings captaincy from Dhoni
The Hindu
Chennai Super Kings appoint Ruturaj Gaikwad as new captain for 2024 IPL season, replacing M.S. Dhoni after 16 years.
Chennai Super Kings has named Ruturaj Gaikwad as the new captain of the franchise ahead of the start of the 2024 IPL season.
He takes over from M.S. Dhoni, who has captained the team since the start of the IPL in 2008, save for a brief period when Ravindra Jadeja was made captain.
A brief statement by the team confirmed the shift in captaincy, stating that Gaikwad has been an integral part of the team since 2019, playing 52 matches.
Speculation is rife that this season will be Dhoni’s final one as a player. In the 2023 season, the 42-year-old mostly came out to bat towards the fag end of CSK innings.
CSK began their pre-season training camp on March 2 with the first batch of CSK players landing a day before.
