Opener Rituraj Gaikwad becomes the new captain of CSK
Gaikwad has been playing for CSK for many seasons.
New Delhi. A day before IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings took a big decision. CSK has changed the captain of the team. In place of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, opener Rituraj Gaikwad will captain CSK in the 17th season of IPL. This has been confirmed from the official social media handle of IPL. Under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, CSK has won the IPL title a record 5 times. Dhoni had left the captaincy of CSK before 2022. When the franchise made Ravindra Jadeja the captain, but under the leadership of Jaddu, CSK lost several consecutive matches, after which Dhoni was again made the captain in the middle of the tournament.
IPL 2024 is starting from Friday (22 March). A day before the opening match, CSK presented Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain in the Pre-IPL Captains Conclave held in Chennai. This change has happened suddenly in CSK. No one expected this. However, MS Dhoni has always been taking surprising decisions. Once again Dhoni surprised everyone by suddenly leaving the captaincy.
