IPL 2024: This former cricketer unhappy with Dhoni’s decision to leave the captaincy, said- it would have been better to retire

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 03:14 PM IPL 2024 Opening Match Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is to be played today. There was a lot of excitement among the people about this match and one of the big reasons for it was that Mahendra Singh Dhoni was going to take the field once again as the captain of CSK. CSK won the IPL 2023 title under the captaincy of Dhoni and after this he said that he would like to play another season of IPL for his fans. Dhoni was seen busy in preparations before this season and fans were hopeful that Thala would once again be seen taking charge of CSK, but just a day before the match, news came that Dhoni left the captaincy of CSK and handed over the captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad. Gave. Gaikwad made his debut for CSK in IPL 2019. Many people were shocked by this decision of Dhoni, but if his track record is seen, then this decision was not very shocking. Former Team India cricketer Wasim Jaffer did not like this decision of Dhoni much.

Jaffer, who has also been the batting coach of Punjab Kings, said on ESPN Cricinfo, ‘I think it would have made more sense if Dhoni was not in the team. He would have retired and would not have been with the team. This would have made the life of any captain much easier. When Dhoni is with the team, the job of any captain becomes more difficult.

Who will win the opening match of IPL 2024 Chennai Super Kings or Royal Challengers Bangalore?

Jaffer further said, ‘The captain should take a decision and whether Dhoni agrees with that decision or not. Do they like the captain’s decisions or not? But I feel that if Dhoni was not in the team, the captain’s job would have been easier. IPL 2024 is starting today with the CSK vs RCB match. The match is to be played at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
