Chennai ∙ In keeping Chennai Super Kings as the best team in IPL for consecutive seasons from 2008 to 2023, M.S. The presence of the captain Dhoni was crucial. Throughout this period, fans enjoyed every move of their beloved ‘Tala’. In 2013, due to the spot-fixing controversy, the team was out of action for two years, but later came back with more energy than before.
Chennai have won the IPL title five times under Dhoni. This was in the 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023 seasons. Apart from this, Chennai also won the Champions League trophy in 2010 and 2014 with Dhoni. In 2022, teammate Ravindra Jadeja was given the captaincy, but the result was continuous defeats. After 8 matches, Dhoni returned as the captain, but that season was completely abandoned by Chennai. Dhoni led Chennai in 212 matches in IPL. He made 128 of these and led the team to victory. Tasted defeat in 82 matches and 2 were unsuccessful.
It is inevitable for any team to change captain and players at crucial times. It is also a time of generational change in Indian cricket. Superstar Virat Kohli quit the captaincy of Royal Challengers last season. This time, Mumbai Indians will come to the tournament with Hardik Pandya as the captain instead of Rohit. Most of the players who played the first season of IPL with the 42-year-old Dhoni are resting today. Many took on the role of trainer or commentator.
MS Dhoni is also the emotion of the fans beyond the lively movement behind the wicket. Dhoni said after the last final that even playing this season is a gift to the fans. So the fans can accept the decision to change the captaincy. It is almost certain that he will have had enough of the game this season as the beloved MS steps down as captain. If so, this year will be the farewell season of another great in Indian cricket.
