IPL 2024: Ruturaj Gaikwad named as the new captain of Chennai Super Kings
Ahead of the IPL 2024 which is scheduled to start on 22 March, MS Dhoni was replaced as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings by Ruturaj Gaikwad. The statement was made on Thursday following Gaikwad’s attendance at the captains’ conference in Chennai, ahead of this year’s championship. Since the first IPL season, MS Dhoni has led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to five titles, sharing the record with Rohit Sharma of the Mumbai Indians. Regarding Dhoni’s future in the league, there has been a lot of conjecture. This may be the team’s next step after trying out all-arounder Ravindra Jadeja as captain.
“MS Dhoni hands over captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad,” CSK’s statement on social media read.
Chennai Super Kings will be facing off Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the opening match of the tournament which will take place on 22 March.
