IPL 2024, CSK vs RCB Live: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the opening game of Indian Super League 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Friday. Getting led by a new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who replaced MS Dhoni in the role, CSK would be eager to start their campaign with a win.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has made a bold claim on social media after MS Dhoni stepped down as Chennai Super Kings captain. The franchise on Thursday took to social media to make the announcement that Ruturaj Gaikwad replaces Dhoni in the role. The decision marks the end of Dhoni's illustrious reign as CSK skipper, during which he led the side to five IPL titles. Dhoni captained CSK in all the 14 editions the side played till IPL 2023.
MS Dhoni will be back in action on the cricket field when the IPL 2024 starts on March 22, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) set to host the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the tournament opener. Dhoni hasn't played competitive cricket since the IPL 2023 final last year where he led CSK to a record-equalling fifth title. Dhoni carried a knee issue during the last season, before undergoing a successful surgery to address his the problem. While there has been a lot of speculation is the IPL 2024 is going to be Dhoni's last, former CSK batter Robin Uthappa had suggested that the former India captain's "knees are getting worn out".
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday, March 22. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, CSK clinched their fifth IPL title after they defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets (DLS method) in a thrilling rain-curtailed IPL 2023 final. On the other hand, the Faf du Plessis-led RCB will aim to bounce back after finishing a disappointing sixth in the IPL 2023 standings with seven wins and as many losses.
MS Dhoni dropped the bomb on his and Chennai Super Kings fans as he announced the decision to leave captaincy ahead of the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season on Thursday. The decision allowed Ruturaj Gaikwad to take up the leadership role. While it was on the eve of the the IPL 2024 opener that Dhoni confirmed his decision, he had hinted Ruturaj about the potential change in command last year. In a chat after officially taking over the CSK captaincy, Ruturaj admitted that he knew this decision was coming.
The Chennai Super Kings start the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season with another captaincy experiment, as MS Dhoni makes way for Ruturaj Gaikwad to lead the team. Two years ago, the Super Kings had made a similar change that saw Ravindra Jadeja replacing Dhoni at the helm. However, that decision had to be reversed in the middle of the IPL 2022 campaign as Jadeja failed to impress as a skipper. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming now expects Jadeja to play a supporting role for the new captain Gaikwad in the squad.
During the training session of Chennai Super Kings ahead of the start of IPL 2024, MS Dhoni was witnessed recreating the iconic Ravindra Jadeja celebration from the final of the 2023 edition. After hitting the winning runs in the summit clash against Guajrat Titans, Jadeja ran in joy with both his hands raised upwards, something that Dhoni was also seen doing during the practice session of CSK. The video Dhoni went viral on social media with the fans connecting it to Jadeja's celebration.
