Vivo IPL 2021: 3 Players who can lead CSK after MS Dhoni’s retirement.
Vivo IPL 2021: The success of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has been synonymous with MS Dhoni’s success over the years in the shortest format of cricket. CSK has experienced enormous triumph under MS Dhoni and his leadership has been one of the prominent factors in building up the fearless squad.
Dhoni till now in 12 IPL seasons (out of 14 IPL seasons CSK played 12 IPL seasons, for 2 years the franchise was banned), has lifted IPL titles three times with CSK. The Chennai based IPL franchise is the only franchise in the history of cricket to qualify for the playoffs in every season except the last one in 2020.
As said earlier, Chennai’s success is synonymous with MS Dhoni’s performance. The Dream11 IPL 2020 turned out to be a forgetful outing for the outfit in yellow as they finished second last in the points table and on top of that, MS Dhoni and Co., for the first time, were not able to qualify for the playoffs.
With the age factor coming into play, anytime soon MS Dhoni will himself step down from the captaincy and will ask other CSK members to lead the side. The fact that he’s stepping down will affect a lot is because he is not featuring in any form of cricket lately and is only playing the Indian Premier League.
