MS Dhoni and Ben Stokes Both Injured! This Big Question Stood in Front of CSK?

In IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings have won two out of the first four matches and have lost two. If the performance of the team is mixed then CSK is constantly troubled due to injury. The team was already in tension regarding the injuries of Ben Stokes and Deepak Chahar that even after the match against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday, two major injuries came to the fore. One of them was of Sisanda Magala of South Africa and on the other hand the injury of captain MS Dhoni increased the tension of the team four times. According to the latest information, Stokes is out for the next three matches, so there is suspense over Dhoni. In such a situation, a big question has arisen in front of the franchisee.

Coach Stephen Fleming did Give a Relief Statement

However, the next day CSK coach Stephen Fleming did give a relieving statement. But seeing the video that was going viral on social media, the worries of the fans are not going to subside. Against Rajasthan, Dhoni played a stormy inning of 32 runs in 17 balls. Although his team lost that close match by 3 runs, Dhoni’s innings won the hearts of the spectators present at Chepauk. But Dhoni was limping while leaving the field after the match. Earlier, the issue of his knee injury had cropped up in the opening match against Gujarat Titans and even before that. CSK now has to play a high-voltage match against RCB on Monday, 17 April. The question is, who will lead CSK if Stokes is not there and if Dhoni is also not there?

Who Will Captain CSK?

Before IPL 2022, MS Dhoni had chosen Ravindra Jadeja as his successor as the captain of CSK. But the beginning for CSK under Jadeja’s captaincy was very bad. The Chennai team lost 4 out of the first 5 matches and won only one. After this controversy arose and MS Dhoni again became the captain of the team and Ravindra Jadeja resigned. This season the team bought Ben Stokes in the mini auction. Speculations are rife that this could be MS Dhoni’s last season and Stokes could be the perfect captaincy option for Dhoni. But this time the chance is such that both are injured.

Now the question is whether Ravindra Jadeja will be handed over the captaincy again or will the franchise find some other option. By the way, the team has another player who can lead the team. We are talking about Moin Ali who has experience of captaining at international level as well. He captained the England team in the T20 series on Pakistan tour. In that series, under the leadership of Ali, England also won the series 4-3. This England all-rounder is also an important and regular player of CSK. In such a situation, Moin Ali can prove to be the perfect captaincy option for CSK in the absence of Dhoni and Stokes.
