Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are going through a transition phase as MS Dhoni is likely to leave the team soon after his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhoni has already passed the captaincy to young Ruturaj Gaikwad so that he could train him after his leadership. It is difficult for the yellow army to see CSK without Dhoni, but it is a bitter truth they have to accept. In this article, we will discuss three future prospects for CSK to look for.
| Player | Role |
| Ruturaj Gaikwad | Captain |
| Rachin Ravindra | Star batter |
| Shivam Dube | All-rounder |
Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy has been excellent so far. He has won two games out of three in the tournament and is looking solid to lead the team from the front. After Dhoni’s retirement, he would be burdened with all the expectations from the loyal fan base of CSK. He has to deliver in every match and guide the team to more success stories as he has big shoes to fill.
Rachin Ravindra
Rachin was signed by Chennai after looking at his stellar performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, where he was one of the batters with the most runs in the tournament. He was bought for Rs 1.8 crore as an opener. The left-handed batter has shown a lot of promise, having scored 85 runs in three games.
Shivam Dube
Shivam Dube could become a great all-rounder for the team. He has the ability to hit boundaries in the death overs and bowl a few overs in the IPL. Dube has scored 1209 runs in IPL history, while he has scored 103 runs in three games in IPL 2024 at an average of 51.50.
