IPL: Who will be Dhoni's successor in CSK? Who will carry forward Thala's legacy?

IPL 2024 is going to start in a few days, in the first match of which Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will face each other. CSK is a 5-time champion team in the Indian Premier League and has always been captained by MS Dhoni. Dhoni has played 250 matches in his IPL career and scored 5,082 runs, which includes 24 half-centuries. It is also worth noting that Dhoni is now getting old and a time will come when he will say goodbye to cricket completely. In such a situation, the question is bound to arise that after Dhoni's retirement, which player can take over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings.

Who will be the captain after Dhoni?

Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Vishwanathan recently spoke to team president N Srinivasan on the subject. Vishwanathan said, “This issue is being discussed internally, but N Srinivasan has made it clear that there will be no discussion about the captain and vice-captain right now. It would be better to leave the matter to the coach and captain.” The decision should be taken yourself. And we should be told and I will convey this information to all of you. He told me, 'The captain and the coach will take the decision themselves and tell us the decision, but till then we all should remain silent.' ,

Dhoni has made CSK champion 5 times

CSK has achieved a lot of success under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Chennai became champion for the first time in 2010 and the next year i.e. 2011. CSK had to wait for 7 years to become champions for the third time as they won the next trophy in 2018. Meanwhile, due to spot fixing case, the team was also banned for 2 years. Under Dhoni's captaincy, CSK also captured the IPL trophy in 2021 and 2023.
