CSK stepped down as CSK captain on the eve of the IPL 2024 season.
The defending champions have won their first two matches so far. While CSK defeated RCB by six wickets in their campaign opener, they thrashed GT by 63 runs to occupy the top position on the 10-team points table.
On the other hand, the Capitals are still waiting for their first win of the season. The Rishabh Pant-led side lost to PBKS and RR in the first two matches.
Ahead of the fixture, CSK’s Twitter (now X) handle shared a video capturing the arrival of the Men in Yellow in Vishakhapatnam.
In the clip, former CSK skipper MS Dhoni can be seen meeting a special fan. The 42-year-old got down from the team bus, shook his hands and greeted that special fan with a smile.
Here’s the post:
Dhoni, who led CSK to five IPL titles, stepped down as captain on the eve of the IPL 2024 opener last week, handing the leadership baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
In the two matches so far, Dhoni hasn’t got a chance to wield his willow. It remains to be seen if he comes out to bat in the next match against DC.
