Indian Premier League: Who will be the next king of CSK, who will take forward the legacy of Chennai Super Kings after Dhoni (MS Dhoni)? Aakash Chopra has responded to this question. Former Indian cricketer and currently playing the role of commentator, Aakash Chopra, has named the cricketer who can become the next messiah of CSK in the future. Talking on the YouTube channel of 2 Sloggers, Aakash Chopra has given his opinion.
When Aakash Chopra was asked in the interview, “Who can be the next messiah of CSK after Dhoni?” On this question, the former Indian cricketer reacted and said, Look, I think Dhoni will always remain with the team as a coach or mentor. But Rituraj Gaikwad can handle the legacy of CSK on the field. CSK has placed a bet on him. Now that there is a mega auction ahead, I don’t think Rituraj Gaikwad is going anywhere.
The veteran said a big thing.
The former Indian opener said, “RCS has made Rituraj Gaikwad the captain. Gaikwad has got full support from Dhoni. In such a situation, CSK will take Gaikwad forward. I cannot say anything right now, but looking at the equations that are visible, I would like to name Gaikwad.”
Let us tell you that in the last season, Gaikwad was made the captain of CSK, and Dhoni played under the captaincy of Gaikwad. Gaikwad also got full support from Mahi on the field. Now the mega auction of IPL is going to be held. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which players CSK retains and which players it releases from the team to go to the auction. The mega auction is expected to be held at the end of this year. Last season, the CSK team could not reach the final and finished at number five.
CSK has won the title five times.
CSK has performed very well under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which has won the title five times so far. In the history of the IPL, CSK and Mumbai Indians are the only teams that have won the IPL title five times each. Now both teams are eyeing a six.
