MS Dhoni to Step Down from Captaincy in IPL 2024: Ruturaj Gaikwad to Lead CSK

According to reports, MS Dhoni is set to hand over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad midway through IPL 2024.

MS Dhoni, who is gearing up for his return to competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League, sparked speculation about a new role within the Chennai Super Kings franchise for IPL 2024 with a rare social media appearance on Monday.

The 42-year-old, expected to play his final season this year after a triumphant 2023 campaign, teased fans with a cryptic message on Facebook: “Can’t wait for the new season and the new ‘role’. Stay tuned.” Dhoni was recently spotted enjoying pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar alongside wife Sakshi and former CSK teammate Dwayne Bravo, showcasing his dandiya skills.
