IPL 2023: Who Will Replace MS Dhoni As CSK Captain - Here Are 5 Candidates For Top Job

MS Dhoni is likely to play his last IPL this year. The CSK captain will turn 42 this year and may opt to retire finally. He stretched his playing time because he wanted to go out in front of the home crowd in Chennai. The CSK management will be sweating over who will replace MSD as captain. There are five candidates that we feel can do really well as leader of the Chennai Super Kings. Check their names below.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja was given the captaincy in IPL 2022 but he failed initially and had to pass on the job back to Dhoni. But Jadeja can still be tried and given more trust and time to do well from the management. Who knows he prospers in his second stint as CSK captain. (Image source: Twitter)

Mooen Ali is a top all-rounder and someone who has the a sharp cricketing brain. Like Dhoni, Moeen too is a very quiet and calm man. Moeen is a respectable figure too in the CSK camp and a senior. He can become a great IPL captain. (Image source: Twitter)

Ruturaj Gaikwad is young, talented and is a great future prospect. Gaikwad has all the making of a captain. He has a calm head. An amazing batter who can lead from the front. Only problem is that CSK will have to be patient with him as skipper. He may take some seasons to get results for CSK. (Image source: Twitter)

Devon Conway

Devon Conway is another foreign player who can do the job. New Zealanders connect well with CSK. Stephen Fleming is a great example of that. Like Fleming, Conway too is a man who likes to work in the background. Conway is a team man, brilliant batter and a very sensible cricketer. In that sense, Conway is a perfect captaincy material. (Image source: Twitter)

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes

England Test captain has Ben Stokes just won the T20 World Cup for England last year, finding his mojo back in the shortest format of the game. He looks to be the ideal candidate for the CSK captaincy. Stokes has retired from ODIs and can give his attention to IPL. He is a proven leader who has changed the way Test cricket is played as captain of the England side. (Image source: Twitter)
