As the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024 season begins, the chatter around MS Dhoni's future in the league would intensify once again. It's been the same case over the last couple of seasons, and as Dhoni continues to lead the Chennai Super Kings this year, there would be those wondering if he plans to quit at the end of the campaign. Not just the fans, but the franchise also needs to prepare itself for life beyond Dhoni, and CEO Kasi Viswanathan admitted that there have been 'internal talks' on the subject.
Only a few weeks to go before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season gets underway, but the Mumbai Indians' decision to replace captain Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya remains arguably the most talked-about topic. There still remains a sense of disappointment in MI fans over Rohit's demotion. In fact, former Mumbai Indian star Ambati Rayudu also feels the captaincy change call was taken in haste. Rayudu, who has also played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, wants Rohit to follow his path and join the MS Dhoni-led side.
Team India's 4-1 series win against England in the Test series saw several heroes emerge. The likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Yadav, etc. performed really well as rookies while Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja were at their usual best. One name, however, that flew under the radar was that of skipper Rohit Sharma, who also made an important contribution to the series. Even India head coach Rahul Dravid pointed out that Rohit was shy to highlight his own contribution and let it slide under the carpet.
Former England spinner Graeme Swann doesn't believe Rohit Sharma's captaincy was better than Ben Stokes' in the five-match Test series. Rather, it was a lethal set of bowlers that "did the trick" for the India skipper. While Stokes' leadership style has attracted all the attention prior to and during the series, Rohit's team emerged 4-1 winners in the end. "I don't think he has been superior as a captain because his bowlers have done the trick for him. I think he's got more weapons at his armoury," Swann told PTI Videos in an exclusive chat after India inflicted an innings and 64-run defeat on England in the fifth and final Test here on Saturday.

India handed England their first series defeat in the 'Bazball' era heralded by Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. As the two teams get down to action one final time in the fifth Test in Dharamsala, the Stokes-led side would like to go back home with a 2-3 series result. After winning the first Test, the side is on a three-match losing streak. Former England captain Nasser Hussain fells that for all the talks about Bazball, sitting second last in the World Test Championship table tells a lot.
