"Must've Told Ruturaj Gaikwad...": R Ashwin's Big Talk On MS Dhoni's CSK Captaincy Call
Former India captain MS Dhoni called time on his captaincy stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL), stepping down as the skipper of Chennai Super Kings ahead of the start of the 2024 season, paving the way for Ruturaj Gaikwad to take the baton in his hand. Though inevitable, the decision did hurt cricket fans as an era came to an end. But, veteran India and former CSK skipper Ravichandran Ashwin doesn't think the big call was taken suddenly. The off-spinner, who plays for Rajasthan Royals, suggests that Dhoni would've spoken to Ruturaj about the change last year.
