Two days before the start of IPL, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has left the captaincy of CSK. CSK has changed the captain for the first time. Dhoni fans are shocked.
After leaving the captaincy, the question has started arising whether Dhoni will not be seen in the IPL next year as well.
Chennai Super Kings is considered one of the successful teams of the Indian Premier League. Chennai has won the league title 4 times and Dhoni was leading the team in all these seasons.
Dhoni will not be seen in the next season
It is being told that Dhoni had proposed Jadeja’s name which was accepted. Dhoni might not be seen playing all the matches in this season of IPL.
He will be seen playing in some matches. Members of the Chennai team say that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will not be seen playing in the IPL next season. This time 10 teams are playing in IPL.
The age of any captain is not more than 37 years. 5 out of 10 teams are captains under 30, 4 under 35 and only one is 35 plus. He is Faf du Plessis who has been made the captain of Bangalore this time.
Dhoni’s performance
Dhoni has captained 213 matches in the IPL, winning 130 and losing 81. The team has reached the final 9 times in 14 years and won the title 4 times. In 2021 i.e. last year also Chennai won the IPL title.
In the last season, Dhoni had scored only 200 runs in 14 innings. He had scored 114 runs in 16 innings of 2021 at a simple average of 16.29.
Will Dhoni be CSK’s mentor?
Dhoni is running in poor form. The reason for this is increasing age. It is believed that the 15th season could be Dhoni’s last season. Although he can become a mentor of CSK.
He also played the same role for Team India in the 2021 T20 World Cup. In such a situation, it can be assumed that Dhoni has resigned from the captaincy to prepare himself as the mentor of the team.
