Minutes after England Test captain Stokes was selected for the CSK team, there were discussions and doubts whether Stokes would be chosen as the CSK captain instead of Dhoni. In this case, CSK CEO Kashi Vishwanath has expressed his opinion about this. He has broken his silence especially on the captaincy issue.
The Chennai Super Kings team, which always creates excitement at the last minute of the IPL auction, has made everyone excited since yesterday’s auction. There was great expectation among the fans that CSK would buy Sam Karan, who is fondly called by the fans as ‘Mouse Kid’. But Sam Karan’s bid went to Rs 19.50 crore, the highest in IPL auction history. This was also a reason for CSK to drop him.
CSK failed to sign not only Sam Karan but also West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder. After this, CSK went into earnest bidding for Stokes. CSK competed fiercely with four other franchises. After that, England’s star player Stokes got CSK. He was the third most expensive player in yesterday’s IPL auction.
CSK bought Ben Stokes for Rs 16.25 crore. Within minutes of England Test captain Ben Stokes being selected for CSK, pundits and fans alike started talking about whether he would be chosen as the captain instead of Dhoni. While many people have been talking about this, CSK CEO Kashi Vishwanath has now spoken about it. He also talked about reuniting with Stokes for the second time in this IPL.
According to the information he gave, “We were very happy to get Stokes. After a lot of fighting, CSK finally got Stokes. We feel lucky to get him. CSK needs an all-rounder. So we are very happy to get Stokes. Not only us, Dhoni is also very happy. Captaincy is an option, it is up to Dhoni to choose the captaincy or not.
Kyle Jamieson looks injured. Otherwise we got word from Fleming that he is on the mend and ready to play. Overall, CSK’s future looks bright. I hope CSK will do well this season.”
Earlier before the start of IPL 2022, Dhoni stepped down as captain and Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain. But Jadeja could not continue it. Due to this, Dhoni was forced to assume the responsibility of captain again.
