"It's confusing": deepak chahar on CSK captaincy shift...


A video from the chennai Super Kings' opening IPL 2024 match at the chepauk versus royal challengers Bengaluru went viral last week, and viewers were curious as to if ms dhoni, who has since given up the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad, is still the team's on-field commander. When dhoni was seen in the video aggressively laying the field, players like suresh raina and virender sehwag made fun of his captaincy of Chennai. During CSK's home game against gujarat Titans on Tuesday, something similar was also observed. Fast bowler deepak chahar provided an explanation following the game on behalf of the CSK players.

According to deepak chahar, he must look to both dhoni and Ruturaj for guidance. In the IPL 2024, chennai won both of its opening two league games. However, after seeing footage of dhoni setting the field in both games, many have questioned whether or not he should still be captain.

When sunil gavaskar asked Chahar who he looks to for fielding advice on Tuesday, following CSK's decisive 63-run victory over the Titans at home, the right-arm bowler replied with a sheepish smile, "I got to look at mahi (MSD) bhai and at Ruturaj - both of them these days for field placements and all." Ruturaj is leading the way and doing well, so it's a little unclear where to look right now."

After winning their first two games at home, chennai will travel to delhi Capitals on march 31 in vizag for their first away game in the IPL 2024. On april 5, they will play Sunrisers hyderabad at the rajiv gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
