“Will Dhoni Retire? Ajinkya Rahane Emerges as CSK’s Potential Captain”

This time, Chennai has got the opportunity to do so. So the rumor that Dhoni will retire from IPL is also strong. CSK coach Stephen Fleming has come forward with an answer in this regard. But Fleming revealed that Dhoni has not yet said anything about this being the last season. Fleming also clarified that he did not mention his retirement to the CSK management or himself.

Meanwhile, with the possibility of retirement becoming strong, Dhoni has suggested the legendary player Wasim Akram as his replacement. If Dhoni retires from CSK, Akram says they have a great captain in the team. It is none other than Ajinkya Rahane. This time the actor is in great form.

Rahane also has the distinction of leading the Indian team to a Test series win in Australia. Rahane was leading a weak team. Akram said that when Ravindra Jadeja was made captain last season, it did not go well. Akram clarified that it also affected Jadeja’s performance.

If Dhoni retires, Jadeja will no longer be an option. CSK has no better option than Rahane. Rahane is looking very consistent right now. Not only that but the situation in India is well known. Akram also said that Indian players have shone as captains in IPL rather than foreign captains.

CSK bought Rahane for 50 lakhs. Rahane rewrote his usual style. The star’s strike rate is 200. If you put foreign players as captains, you won’t even remember the names of the players. How will they lead the team? Rahane is a good option for them. If Dhoni’s game is enough, CSK should plan and execute things. Akram also said that CSK are smart in that.
