The legacy of CSK
Captain cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni will lead the squad from behind the wickets, whereas from the front foot he has given the captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad. Dhoni wants to make sure that when he leaves the team, he will leave it in good hands with a bright future for Chennai Super Kings.
For the current year, CSK will aim for their sixth IPL title with the presence of Dhoni on their side, as they have done in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Chennai Super Kings has always been a consistent team, and their fan following is huge. The fans would be eager to watch their own team dominate the tournament again with Thala.
