When Chennai Super Kings on Saturday 5th April welcome Chennai Super Kings Copticles to Chepauk, all eyes on Mrs. Dhoni. He is a superstar for the party and the captain is on 5 IPL titles and a fan that follows for a 43 -year -old is always Sky High. Even in lost matches, fans stick to the magic of Dhoni and a few six into the crowd.
On Saturday, fans will head to Chepauk with high expectations because the news came in We saw the return of “Captain Cool”. Given that Ruturaj Gaikwad was a doubt about the game due to the injury of the elbows, the coach of the launch of CSK Mike Hussey said that Dhoni would be the captain of the side if their regular captain does not cut.

“We have to go through some young guy (Dhoni). He’s behind the stumps. Maybe he can do a good job,” Hussey said during a press conference.
This certainly captured the imagination of fans because they have a chance to see how Dhoni returned in his most famous avatar. But can we expect Dhoni again as Captain CSK?
Calm
Let’s just get it out of the way and say that once Dhoni takes over as a captain, he will be a lot of peace. As we saw in countless situations in IPL and international cricket, Dhoni is like a captain who can lead a ship through turbulent waters.
In 2022, when Ravindra Jadeja was captain CSK, they tried to influence and franchise found themselves in trouble. Dhoni entered stable things and then Help them win the title in 2023. Infact, Dhoni’s last match as Captain CSK was the famous last victory in Ahmedabad in 2023.
Right now CSK is at the point of harassment, and maybe Dhoni could be the one who can reassure the ship again.
Dhoni’s number don’t lie
If you look at Dhoni’s number as a captain in IPL, you understand why he is considered a almost mythical figure in the game and among fans. Dhoni holds a record for most victories as Captain IPL with 133 in his name.
It has the highest percentage of IPL victories with more than 50 victories at 59.37. To do this, a 43 -year -old man is second in the list of most runs as the IPL captain, scoring 4660 runs out of 226 matches.
So, if CSK is looking for a comeback, Dhoni can be the right guy because the numbers prefer him.
Although there was a debate between fans and scientists, if Dhoni is the right man right now, the call is based on the man itself. Michael Clarke said he wasn’t sure if Dhoni would do it.
“Could he do it? Of course. Will he do it?
Sunil Gavascar said he should have a captain and should not be asked to resign even if Routuraj returns.
Guess on Saturday at 3 pm we will know more about Dhoni and his call. If you hear a massive roar after throwing and a calm man is heading to talk to the commentator, then Chennai would leave their Thal once more.
Is it the last time? Well, we can’t say “certainly not”, because only Dhoni knows the answer.
