MS DHONI was appointed to wear the captain's hat again for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The former India captain is likely to lead the team to the match against Delhi Capitals at the stadium of the Chidampar on Saturday (April 5).
The veteran Wiki goalkeeper, Mrs. Donni, is competing for the team's leadership because the ordinary captain Roturaj Gaikadad doubts this game. The right striker was injured by Tushar Deshpande in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals, which is suspicious of the next match.
Although less than 24 hours remain to start the match, there is still any clarity on the Gaikwad fitness. CSK Batting Mike Hussey has introduced a update to the captain, saying that his participation will depend on his recovery.

He also said that Gaikwad is still completely inappropriate and the team will receive a final call after the net session on Friday (April 4). He also suggested that Mrs. Donnie is likely to lead the team if Gaikwad is available in chance.
“Ruturaj Gaikwad's participation in tomorrow's game depends on his recovery. It is still painful and we will take a call about how he is in the net today. If he doesn't play, and not sure he will lead.
The lost Gaikwad will be a major blow to CSK because it has been struggling with the continuous competition so far. They suffer from third place in the points schedule, with only one of two games. They started their season by beating Mumbai's Indians before losing against the royal competitors, Bengaluru and Rajistan Royal.
The CSK fight was not impressive as well, and the lost Gaikwad will make the worst things for them. Gaikwad was the top scorer in CSK last year, and he looked at a wonderful touch this season as well. It has already hit the two fifties in three floors.
The legacy of Mrs. Deni as a captain:
While the lost Gaikwad will be a major blow to CSK, the fans will be happy to see the lady Dhoni as a leader again. The legendary Wikit goalkeeper stepped as CSK leader before the start of last season.
It is one of the most decorated tribes in the history of IPL. Under his leadership, CSK won five titles with the last time to come in 2023. CSK lost its last two matches and will hope that Dhoni will direct them to win if he is already leading the team.
