R Ashwin Picks MS Dhoni’s Successor Before IPL 2024: Even in the twilight phase of his illustrious career, MS Dhoni ensured that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continued to exemplify the essence of ‘just captain cool things’ as his side narrowly defeated the defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final.
In a Sunday social media update, CSK officially announced Dhoni’s involvement in their title-defending season. Following his role in guiding CSK to a record-equaling fifth title, the former India skipper is set to lead the Yellow Brigade in the 2024 edition of the cash-rich league.
Leading up to the mini-auction for IPL 2024, CSK has released players such as Ben Stokes, Dwaine Pretorius, K. Bhagath Varma, Subhranshu Senapati, Ambati Rayudu, Kyle Jamieson, Akash Singh, and Sisanda Magala. While England Test skipper Stokes opted to withdraw from IPL 2024 to manage his workload and fitness, superstars Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ravindra Jadeja were retained by the Chennai-based franchise for the upcoming season.
