Ruturaj Gaikwad Steps In Big Shoes, Named CSK Captain!

All eyes are on the 2024 edition of the IPl which will start tomorrow. For the next two months, fans will stick to the TVs. Only the schedule of the initial matches was issued and we might get the clarity on the remaining matches soon.

Ahead of the inaugural match, CSK came up with a big decision as Dhoni left his captaincy. Young player Ruturaj Gaikwad is named the skipper. He is going to step in big shoes as Dhoni’s successor.

MS Dhoni has been the heart and soul of CSK as he made the team a successful one with five titles and took the team to finals many times. This is the legacy he created as the skipper. Dhoni won the trophy with new players and senior players as well.

Only two teams won five IPL trophies-CSK and MI. This is the legacy of the CSK team which enjoys an unmatched craze among fans. As an example of the craze even the practice sessions of CSK see full crowds which is not the case with the other teams.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni also has a good track record as the skipper. He took CSK to the finals five times and lifted the trophy five times. This speaks volumes about the legacy MS Dhoni left as a leader. Ruturaj Gaikwad is stepping into the big shoes of MS Dhoni.

As Dhoni will be around Ruturaj Gaikwad can learn a lot from him. Earlier CSK tried Ravindra Jadeja as the skipper for a few games. But that did not work and Dhoni had to wear the skipper gloves again.
