‘Thala The Grandmaster Of T20 Cricket’: Mohammad Kaif On MS Dhoni Relinquishing CSK Captaincy

By IANS News March 21, 2024 • 21:36 PM View: 1526

Indian Premier League: Former Indian cricket Mohammad Kaif called M.S. Dhoni “the Grandmaster of T20 cricket” after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) named Ruturaj Gaikwad as the new captain for the Indian Premier League season 2024.

CSK on Thursday named opener-batter Gaikwad as Dhoni's successor, leaving the 27-year-old from Pune in Maharashtra big shoes to fill as he takes over from a legend. CSK secured the services of Gaikwad at the IPL 2019 player auction and since then he hasn’t disappointed with the bat and will now lead the squad.

Kaif called Dhoni “the Grandmaster of T20 cricket” in a post on X (formerly Twitter) and said Gaikwad was lucky to do his captaincy internship under a great leader.
