Dhoni wanted to step down from Captaincy last year itself says CSK
Kasi Viswanathan, the chief executive of the chennai Super Kings, explains why mahendra singh dhoni has stepped down as captain. mahendra singh dhoni, the chennai Super Kings' captain since the IPL's debut season, resigned today. In addition, the chennai Super Kings team management has officially announced ravindra jadeja as the new captain. Fans were taken aback when it was announced that chennai would play in the first match tomorrow.
Meanwhile, kasi Viswanathan, the CSK team's CEO, has been quizzed regarding Dhoni's choice. "Dhoni's decision has always been honoured by us." He's been a rock for us. He'll keep being that way. He did so because he felt it was the perfect moment for Jadeja to take over as captain. dhoni, who is deeply concerned, has made this decision in the team's best interests. We didn't expect dhoni to make such a decision. Because we've already talked about it. When this topic came up last year, we also alerted Jadeja. dhoni may have believed it was the appropriate time because Jadeja had made significant progress in international cricket. At today's executive meeting, the same information was revealed.
Despite his support for the indian team, dhoni handed over the captaincy to Virat Kohli. He's now done the same. He also expressed his intention for a smooth transition and announced the move today. In this series, though, he will be the one to lead Jadeja. He'll be in charge of not only Jadeja, but also a senior member of the squad. I don't believe this will be Dhoni's final IPL season. "We hope he keeps playing," CEO kasi Viswanathan said.
