Delhi: MS Dhoni, who is considered a charismatic cricketer, recently handed over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to Rituraj Gaikwad. After this decision, some people were thinking that Dhoni is still taking the decision of the team from behind the screen. However, Dhoni dismissed these speculation and said that he is now focusing on molding himself according to the circumstances and is trying to remain as a player in the IPL.
New thinking of batsmen in IPL
Dhoni said that now the attitude of the batsmen has completely changed. They are ready to take risks and believe that large strokes can be played with the right shots. Along with this, batsmen are also improving their shot selection, such as playing reverse sweep and reverse scoop against fast bowlers. Dhoni also said that he too has had to change his batting manner so that he can remain relevant.
Gaekwad became captain in 2024
Prior to the 2024 IPL session, Dhoni handed over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings to Rituraj Gaikwad. Dhoni said that he decided to choose Gaikwad as captain due to his calm nature and patience. Despite this, Dhoni made it clear that he definitely gives his advice to Gaikwad, but believes or not to believe that advice depends entirely on Gaikwad.

Dhoni’s statement
Dhoni said that before the tournament started, he told Gaikwad that if he advises him, it does not mean that Gaekwad will have to follow him. Dhoni said that he tries to stay away from the decisions of the team and most of the decisions themselves take Gaekwad. Dhoni said, “The truth is that 99 percent of the decisions are from Gaikwad.”
Relationship with Virat Kohli
Dhoni also told in this interview that he has a very deep and strong relationship with Virat Kohli. Kohli, who is a strong relationship with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star batsman, has a strong connection with his other close partner in cricket.
