MS Dhoni, a former captain of India, will remain in charge of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023, according to franchise CEO Kasi Vishwanathan.
Captain for IPL 2023
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has guided CSK to four IPL championships, will be close to 42 by the start of the following IPL season. The cricketer is still an important part of their system for sure. As per the sources, Vishwanathan said that MS Dhoni would lead the CSK team in the upcoming IPL season.
Notably, the charismatic captain, who had served as CSK’s captain since the IPL’s debut in 2008, turned over the reins just two days before the start of IPL 2022 to all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja returned Dhoni’s captaincy responsibilities midway through the IPL 2022 for the remainder of the season when CSK didn’t do well under his leadership.
MS Dhoni and CSK
The world Cup-winning skipper had already stated that he would continue to represent the four-time champions during IPL 2022, stating that it would be wrong not to express his gratitude to Chennai and the CSK supporters in front of them. It would be unjust, according to Dhoni, to skip Chennai.
Along with their four IPL championships, CSK won the now-defunct Champions League twice under Dhoni’s leadership, in 2010 and 2014, respectively. Dhoni-led CSK will be seeking to make a successful recovery in IPL 2023 after a disappointing previous season in which they finished in ninth place.
