MS Dhoni has at last gone on record after resigning as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain, after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s untimely injury. Speaking after CSK’s latest match, Dhoni admitted the team had been struggling this season and suggested the pressure created the leadership change.
‘Will definitely miss Ruturaj,’ says Dhoni
In his address to the media, Dhoni stated that he supported Gaikwad, stating, “We’ll definitely miss Rutu. He brought fresh energy and was learning fast. “It’s unfortunate, but injuries are part of the game.” The experienced captain also clarified that this change wasn’t due to personal ambition but because the team required stability in a challenging period.
‘We’ve lost too many matches we could’ve won’
Dhoni didn’t hold back on CSK’s patchy performance. “We’ve lost too many games we should have finished off. “That’s where experience comes into play,” he stated. CSK, with their well-balanced team and level-headed strategies, have had an unusually shaky beginning to this season. Dhoni’s return seems to be an effort to stabilize the team mentally and strategically as they head into the important second half of the league.
Fan reactions are emotional and mixed.
As soon as news of Dhoni’s return as captain spread, fans erupted with excitement and nostalgia. While many welcomed his return, some expressed disappointment over Gaikwad’s abrupt exit from leadership, emphasizing that the young opener deserved more time to grow. The phrase “Captain Cool is back” quickly started trending on social media.
Focus shifts to CSK’s upcoming must-win games
With playoffs still within reach, Dhoni’s return adds both hope and pressure. The former India captain will need to guide a somewhat shaky squad back into form. All eyes are now on how CSK will perform under Dhoni’s leadership and whether they can recapture the consistency that made them four-time IPL champions.
As ever, Dhoni is calm in the tempest, stating, “It’s not about the captaincy, it’s about how the team responds from here. Let’s take it one game at a time.”
