Ruturaj Gaikwad, the opening batter for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023, is expected to be the captain of Chennai Super Kings when MS Dhoni finally decides to retire after this season of IPL.
Ravindra Jadeja was handed over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022, but he failed to perform as the captain, and it was ultimately decided that Dhoni would captain the team.
IPL 2023 will begin with MS Dhoni as captain for CSK, but there are reports that suggest that CSK can hand over the captaincy of the team to Ruturaj Gaikwad in the middle of the tournament to help him get the much-needed experience for IPL 2024.
