MS Dhoni will take over the captaincy duties for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for the remainder of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), after regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out due to an elbow fracture. The development was confirmed by CSK coach Stephen Fleming during the pre-match press conference on Thursday.
““As far as replacements go we have few options in the squad. We haven’t zeroed in on anyone. (MS) Dhoni was ready to take over. He understood where it was coming from,” the former New Zealand captain said.
