Former India cricketer and head coach, Ravi Shastri, recently shared his thoughts on why MS Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad for IPL 2024. As the cricket season kicks off, Dhoni’s move has caught the attention of fans.
With Chennai Super Kings set to face Delhi Capitals in a highly anticipated match, all eyes are on Dhoni’s return at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vishakhapatnam. Despite playing in CSK’s first two matches, Dhoni hasn’t had a chance to bat yet. However, he’s been solid behind the stumps, showing his skills as a wicketkeeper.
According to Shastri, Dhoni’s decision revolves around his fitness. As the 42-year-old navigates through the season, his ability to cope with the physical demands will determine how much he plays.
In Shastri’s words, “This is MS Dhoni’s last season, okay, very clear. You know, it depends on how his body copes with everything, whether he plays the whole season or doesn’t play the whole season, only time will tell,” as conveyed via Star Sports.
As Dhoni’s leadership transition unfolds, his guidance to Gaikwad will be crucial for CSK’s performance in IPL 2024.
