With the help of coach, Dhoni will personally find Srinivasan, the new CSK captain for the next season

Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Vishwanathan said that the franchise is discussing the succession plan but when it comes to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's succession, Dhoni himself will try to find a new captain for the team with the help of the head coach. Dhoni will lead the Chennai team in IPL 2024 starting from March 22 and this could possibly be his last IPL. Last year, Dhoni dismissed speculations of retirement and said that he wants to play at least one more season. This was his return gift to his supporters. Dhoni was struggling with a knee injury last year and had to undergo surgery after leading the team to its fifth title. He is working hard on his recovery to be fit for the new season and is also spending a lot of time at the nets.

Vishwanathan said that the decision on the new captain will be taken by Captain Dhoni and the coach and till then we do not want to make any statement. The yellow team always aims to qualify for the knockouts. This is always our first goal. After focusing on the league, I am trying to make it to the knockouts. It is noteworthy that Jadeja was given the captaincy in the 2022 season but he left the captaincy midway and Dhoni was made the captain again.
