MS Dhoni’s reign as the leader of the team comes to an end before the start of the IPL 2024 season as Ruturaj Gaikwad takes over as captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni has decided to relinquish responsibility while still being present as a player and hopes that he can help Gaikwad on the field whenever the new captain feels the need for consultation. However, former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer believes Gaikwad’s job would be easier if Dhoni leaves the team altogether.
Questioning the timing of Dhoni’s decision to step down as captain, Jaffer said the move would make more sense if Dhoni quit the IPL entirely.
“No, I don’t think so. I think things would make more sense if MS Dhoni was not around. He has retired, he is not around. It would make any captain’s life easier. Now, with MS Dhoni Ja Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Fo said: “For a captain, being around always makes the job more difficult. “
Jaffer expected Gaikwad to have a tricky time in the decision-making process and questioned whether Dhoni would be satisfied with the call given to the opening batsman even if he disagreed with it.
Therefore, for Jaffer, Tara’s complete absence would be better for Gaikwad starting his captaincy at CSK.
“Whatever decisions he takes, Dhoni agrees to them or not. Whether he likes them or not. You are on your own and we all know Ruturaj Gaikwad will be the successor. But I think if Dhoni It makes it easier not to be around,” Jaffer said.
Most likely, IPL 2024 season will be MS Dhoni’s last season in the T20 league. The experienced wicketkeeper-batsman is expected to feature in the support staff from next season.
