This is why CSK may struggle to find a captaincy successor for MS Dhoni, explains Brad Hogg. MS Dhoni will captain the CSK in the PL 2022, replacing Ravindra Jadeja, who stepped down.
MS Dhoni’s first match as the reinstated captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 ended in a victory over SunRisers Hyderabad. He took over as captain after Ravindra Jadeja stepped down to focus on his own game. However, with Dhoni now over 40, the question is what CSK’s long-term strategy will be going forward. Former Australian cricket team spinner Brad Hogg believes the four-time champions will face a difficult task in finding a capable replacement for Dhoni, the captain, if he does not return next season.

“All of the best Indian T20 players have already been assigned to other franchises” Brad Hogg explains .
“Who will replace MS Dhoni at the end of the year now that he has taken over the role? Because there isn’t a player on CSK’s roster who can captain this team effectively and efficiently. To find a captaincy-worthy player, they will have to go to the auction next year. It will be difficult to find an Indian to do the job because all of the best Indian T20 players have already been assigned to other franchises “Hogg, a former Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals player, stated on his YouTube channel.
“Ravindra Jadeja was an excellent choice, but he was inexperienced. He was the best candidate to succeed Dhoni.”
CSK may also consider signing an overseas player, according to Hogg. “They will have to seek the services of an international player. It will be difficult to find a player who can effectively captain the team while also fitting into the balance and game plan that CSK already has in place “He stated.
