If we talk about the most successful captains in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the names of Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni come at the top. Rohit has made Mumbai Indians (MI) and Dhoni made Chennai Super Kings (CSK) champions 5-5 times under their captaincy. But in IPL 2024, it seems as if an era has ended, because on one hand the captaincy of Mumbai Indians has been handed over to Hardik Pandya. On the other hand, MS Dhoni has also left the captaincy of Chennai and handed over the command of the team to Rituraj Gaikwad. Now Rohit has updated a story on social media, in which he has shared a heart-touching emoji regarding Dhoni leaving the captaincy.
Rohit Sharma has shared the picture on social media, in which he is shaking hands with MS Dhoni. Along with this, he has also shared a handshake emoji in the caption. The journey of both these players in captaincy has been wonderful, but it can be a good news for their fans that even after leaving the captaincy, Rohit and Dhoni will be seen playing. But this is also indicating that especially Dhoni may say goodbye to cricket next season and perhaps that is why he has handed over the responsibility of captaincy to Gaikwad.
CSK and MI made champions 5 times
Talking about CSK, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has made his team champion in the years 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023. It will be worth seeing in the upcoming season whether Dhoni is able to win the sixth trophy while being a part of CSK or not. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, as captain, made Mumbai Indians champion in the years 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020.
