Chennai Super Kings (CSK), probably the most profitable franchise within the IPL is perhaps heading in direction of the top of an period and legacy within the 2024 version. The legend and five-time IPL-winning skipper MS Dhoni, who wished to play for the followers for yet another time after main his aspect to a title final 12 months, is perhaps enjoying his closing season within the match. But who takes over Dhoni after he’s performed? That’s the query that has been surrounding the franchise, the staff administration, the homeowners and the followers.
Now CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has spoken on the subject intimately saying that there was inner speak on this matter however talked about that the staff proprietor N Srinivasan has left the choice on captain Dhoni and coach Stephen Fleming to take. Speaking to S Badrinath on former CSK batter’s YouTube channel, Viswanathan stated, “See, there have been inner talks. But, Mr. Srinivasan has made it very clear. Let’s not discuss captain and vice-captain appointments.
“Let’s leave it to the coach and the captain to decide. Let them decide and convey the information to me, and then I will convey it to you all. He has said that ‘the captain and the coach will decide and give us a directive, till then let’s all keep quiet’,” he added.
CSK regardless of accidents and a lack of kind to a few gamers managed to win the match and this time round despite the fact that Devon Conway is not going to be there for majority of the season, the franchise has sufficient and high quality backups that may do the job for them once more because the Men in Yellow look all set to defend their title.
Asked in regards to the message from Dhoni forward of the brand new season, Viswanathan stated, “We have always focused on qualifying for the knockouts. That’s our first aim. After that, it depends on the performance on that day. We are following that even now. Before every season, MS Dhoni tells us ‘first let us concentrate on league games. We will look to qualify for the knockouts’. Yes, the pressure is there. But over the years, because of our consistency, most of the players are used to this pressure.”
CSK did get into motion with their succession plan in 2022 by making Ravindra Jadeja the captain. However, that did not work fairly nicely for the aspect and Dhoni took again the captaincy and as they are saying the remaining is historical past.
