IPL 2024: CSK Better Prepared Now For Captaincy Change Than In 2022, Says Fleming As Gaikwad Takes Over From Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephan Fleming has said that it is the right time for M.S Dhoni to relinquish the captaincy as the franchise is better prepared for it unlike in 2022 when he handed over the reins to star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

CSK had announced Jadeja as Dhoni's successor for the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) but the transition was unsuccessful as CSK lost six of their first eight matches and Jadeja had to eventually step down and Dhoni took over the charge again. The next year, Dhoni led CSK to their fifth IPL title.

On Thursday, the five-time IPL winner sprung a surprise by naming right-handed opener Ruturaj Gaikwad as their new captain for the upcoming IPL 2024 season, leaving him big shoes to fill as he takes over from a legend.
