When MS Dhoni said in a recent tweet before heading into the Chennai Super Kings preseason camp that he would be seen in a different role, one wondered what that would be. He kept most of us guessing, probably his teammates too, before dropping the bombshell on Thursday.
No, he isn’t retiring this year, but Dhoni won’t lead CSK in what will probably be his last season. As he prepares for his probable last dance, MSD has passed on the captaincy baton for the second time in three years, this time to Ruturaj Gaikwad, a quiet Maharashtra boy who has been a perfect fit in the CSK ethos.
