IPL 2024 will see MS Dhoni playing only as a keeper-batter in the league. He stepped down as the skipper of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. The young batter?s first assignment will be the CSK vs RCB game. 

MS Dhoni stepping down as a captain of CSK means he potentially will be playing his last season in the IPL. The keeper-batter would be keen to sign off on high and entertain his fans for the one last time. With CSK playing its first game in Chepauk, he is likely to get huge roars.?
