Before the start of IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings has announced its new captain. Just a day before the start of the T20 league, it was revealed that this time, not MS Dhoni but Ruturaj Gaikwad would command the team in the yellow jersey. However, the impact of this decision on the team players became clear after the match against Gujarat Titans. After this match, CSK player Deepak Chahar revealed all the ongoing complications regarding captaincy.

Even during the match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, confusion regarding captaincy was clearly visible on the field. Commentators were also discussing who was leading the team because even though Ruturaj was the captain on paper, on the field Dhoni looked more active in that role. However, in the next match, the role of captaincy in CSK became a little clearer. Despite this, what Deepak Chahar said became headlines.

Deepak Chahar mentioned the ongoing confusion regarding captaincy in a humorous tone. He jokingly said that these days when it comes to making decisions, he looks at both Dhoni and Ruturaj. He mentioned confusion about where to look. While Ruturaj is doing a good job as captain, decisions still require Dhoni's permission.

In situations where things seem a bit unclear, Dhoni often turns to Ruturaj for help. After the first match, Ruturaj also mentioned that he did not feel the pressure of leading because Dhoni was with him. However, the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad was active in the match against Gujarat Titans.
