25-year-old Rituraj Gaikwad can become the long-term captain for Chennai Super Kings. He leads the Maharashtra team at the domestic level, so he is a good option.

He has been playing under Dhoni’s captaincy for the last many years, Dhoni would know his talent and leadership very well. Ben Stokes has more experience, he played a key role in helping England win the ODI and T20 World Cups.

But the two problems for CSK are that he is a foreign player and secondly he is an all-rounder. Only 4 foreigners are fed in a team, so if the captain is a foreigner then there are problems in the combination of playing 11.
