If Dhoni is out, who will lead CSK? ‘These’ are the main contenders

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is currently playing for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. Chennai Super Kings lost their fourth match of the season against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday (April 12). Even though MS Dhoni is currently 41 years old, his fitness is considered to be amazing. However, the news of his injury surfaced in the match against Rajasthan. In such a case, if Dhoni gets injured, the question of who will lead CSK is currently being raised.

In IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings players have seen one injury after another. MS Dhoni played tremendously in the match against Rajasthan. With Dhoni on the pitch, CSK fans had hopes of victory till the last ball. But with 5 runs required, Dhoni failed to hit a six and Rajasthan won the match. It was also revealed that Dhoni was having trouble walking after the match. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming also said that Dhoni’s knee is injured.

Apart from Dhoni, England’s star all-rounder Ben Stokes is also struggling with injuries. According to reports, Stokes may take the next few days to recover from this injury. CSK’s fast bowler Sisanda Gama also suffered an injury in the match against Rajasthan and will be out for the next two weeks. Fast bowler Deepak Chahal is almost out of IPL 2023. Similarly, now the news of Dhoni’s injury is surely increasing the headache of the team. CSK’s next match is against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 17. The team may need a new captain in this match. If Dhoni is absent for the next match, who will lead CSK? This is the question that fans have now.

Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja is the first contender to captain CSK in Dhoni’s absence. But last year he himself quit CSK due to lackluster performance. Jadeja took over the captaincy of CSK before the start of the IPL 2022 season. But under his leadership, CSK lost four matches and won one match. In this case, it is very unlikely that Jadeja will take over the captaincy of the team again.

Moeen Ali
English all-rounder Moeen Ali has been playing for CSK for a long time now. England toured Pakistan under his leadership. Playing in Pakistan after 17 years, England led by Moeen Ali defeated the hosts Pakistan by a margin of 4-3 in the T20I series. In this case, he can also perform the role of CSK captain very well.

Rituraj Gaikwad
CSK’s opener Rituraj Gaikwad has been brilliant in the last few IPL seasons. In IPL 2021, Thia scored the most runs in a season with 635 runs. Gaikwad, who leads the Maharashtra team in domestic cricket, may also take charge of CHSK in Dhoni’s absence.

Ajinkya Rahane
CSK also has experienced Indian batsman Ajinkya Rahane. This is Rahane’s first season for CSK but he has also had a brilliant start for the team. He has previously led Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. But there are more doubts about Rahane, who is new to the team, getting a CSK-led team. (If MS Dhoni is out, who will lead CSK? ‘These’ are the main contenders)
