Formrer West Indies captain Chris Gayle feels MS Dhoni might not play all the games for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2024 after stepping down as captain on the eve of their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday. CSK defeated RCB in the IPL 2024 opener by six wickets to get their title defense underway in style at the Chepauk. Dhoni played under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's leadership, but did not get the chance to bat. After CSK's win over RCB, Gayle said Dhoni might take a break between the tournament, but backed the veteran to do well in the tournament.
A pleased Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad termed Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell's quick dismissals as the turning point of their IPL opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Mustafizur Rahman (4/29) blew away the top-order allowing CSK to limit RCB to 173/6 on a good track. "We had total control right from the start," Gaikwad said at post-match presentation ceremony after CSK scripted a six wicket win.
In an interesting development a day before the start of the IPL 2024, MS Dhoni relinquished his Chennai Super Kings captaincy and handed over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad. Though the decision was expected by many, it still led to an outburst of emotions among fans. The situation in the CSK dressing room wasn't any different, with eyes getting wet as soon as the 'Thala' revealed that he would be stepping down as skipper ahead of the start of the season.
Chennai Super Kings journey under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad began on a good note as the five-time champions defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in Chennai. RCB scored 173/6 batting first and CSK chased down the target quite easily. Replacing an impactful figure like MS Dhoni is never easy and the same is with Ruturaj Gaikwad. "Feel privileged. But I want to try and be in my shoes, not fill anybody's shoes," he said before the start of the tournament.
