IPL 2024: MS Dhoni steps down as CSK captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad to take over | Oneindia

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has stepped down as the captain of Chennai Super Kings with Ruturaj Gaikwad named the new skipper ahead of the new IPL season beginning on Friday.

Dhoni, who led CSK to five IPL titles, will continue to be available as a player for the season and barring any last minute injury scars will keep wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday.

Though the move to change captain on the eve of the season may come as a surprise, behind the scenes, the Super Kings have been grooming Gaikwad for the role.

In 2022, days before the new season in Maharashtra, Dhoni had handed over the reins to Ravindra Jadeja.

But the move backfired with Jadeja stepping down as captain mid-way through the season and Dhoni taking charge again.
