MS Dhoni’s decision to relinquish the captaincy at CSK for the IPL 2024 season marked a significant transition. Ruturaj Gaikwad assumed the mantle of leadership, backed by his prior experience in steering the Indian team to gold at the Asian Games 2023. CSK’s experimentation with leadership, including the brief stint of Ravindra Jadeja as captain, underscores the team’s quest for optimal performance and strategic evolution.
