Rituraj Gaikwad out of the season
Earlier, there was speculation about becoming Dhoni’s captain. Gaikwad’s fitness was questioned just before the match against Delhi Capitals in Chennai on April 7, and it was believed that he would be out of that match. In such a case, Dhoni’s return was considered as captain. But Gaikwad played that match and then he landed against Punjab Kings. But in both of these matches he was able to score only 6 runs, which clearly shows that he might not fit perfectly.

CSK re -captained Dhoni
But now after Gaikwad’s expulsion, the team naturally decided to re -captain Dhoni, which seems to be the need for Chennai at this time. The team has not been a good start this season and since the win in the first match, he has been suffering from consistently defeat. Chennai, who has played 5 matches so far, has lost 4 consecutive matches and with just 2 points, the team is ninth. Now everyone’s eyes will be on Dhoni, who had earlier taken the arch in the middle of the 2022 season. Ravindra Jadeja then became captain of the team, but after a continuous defeat, he was removed and Dhoni took the arch and Dhoni made Chennai champion next season.
