The first match of IPL 2024 will be played on Friday, March 22. Where a great match is to be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. This match will be organized in Chennai. A day before this match, MS Dhoni left the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings and handed over the command of the team to Ruturaj Gaikwad. With this, the golden era of IPL also came to an end, seeing which many people became fans of IPL. As soon as Dhoni left the captaincy, for the first time in IPL after 10 years, an amazing coincidence happened.
This will happen for the first time after 10 years
MS Dhoni leaving the captaincy just before IPL 2024 was a big shock for the fans. With this, this will be the first time after 10 years that MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will not be the captains in any season of IPL. There has never been a time in the last 10 years when none of these three were captaining. At least one of these three players was definitely captaining his team. These three teams have shocked the fans from time to time. In the year 2021, Virat Kohli had decided to step down from the captaincy and he is not the captain of RCB from the 2022 season. Before the start of IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians have also decided to remove Rohit Sharma from the captaincy and make Hardik Pandya the new captain of the team. In such a situation, fans will miss these three together as captains for the first time.
Dhoni and Rohit’s dominance in 10 years
Rohit Sharma was given the captaincy of the team during the mid-season of IPL 2013. In the same year, Virat Kohli also became the captain of RCB. Dhoni has been captaining Chennai Super Kings since the beginning of IPL. If seen from the year 2013 to the year 2023, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma have dominated as captains. During this period, Rohit Sharma won the IPL title five times and MS Dhoni three times. However, Virat Kohli could not succeed in winning the IPL title even once. Now the captains of RCB, CSK and Mumbai Indians are Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Hardik Pandya respectively.
