The IPL 2025 turned the millions of CSK fans’ dreams into reality as Captain Cool is back donning the captaincy hat. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury paved the way for MS Dhoni to reclaim the captaincy, and the franchise didn’t hesitate to put their trust in their ultimate leader. Fans can’t wait to see Captain Dhoni on the field.

With that move by the CSK management, the Mumbai Indians find themselves in a tough spot. After replacing Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as captain, MI now face backlashes from fans. Drawing comparisons to CSK’s decision, supporters have taken to social media, slamming the franchise and questioning their call.

Captain Cool Is Back At Captaincy Role

As the Chennai Super Kings are struggling with woes in the ongoing IPL 2025, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unfortunate injury added more woes. The CSK skipper has been ruled out for the remaining part of the tournament due to an elbow injury. However, what started as a worrying moment has sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, as it paved the way for a legendary comeback.

After Gaikwad ruled out, the CSK management showcased their faith in Mahendra Singh Dhoni again, appointing him as the skipper for the remaining matches. His return to the role has thrilled fans, who are eager to see Captain Cool back in charge once again.

MI Find Themselves In Hot Water

After CSK’s captaincy baton passed to Ruturaj Gaikwad last season, MI also passed on the captaincy hat to Hardik Pandya after sacking Rohit Sharma. That move sparked controversy, and now CSK’s latest move to re-appoint Dhoni has stirred up the controversy once again.

While CSK has reinstated MS Dhoni as captain, Mumbai Indians have taken a different route, using Rohit Sharma only as an impact player. Despite making the franchise a five-time IPL winner, it appears MI has sidelined Rohit, ignoring his leadership inputs on the field. Fans aren’t holding back, trolling the franchise for this bold decision and questioning their move.

Here are some of the examples

Csk:- gave the captaincy to Dhoni. But this Mumbai Indians is such a mindless and useless team that it has not yet given captaincy to Rohit. Seeing his Downfall Csk changed the captain at the right time. - @VedantPuja83861

Rohit at 35 - Sacked as Captain by MI. Dhoni at 43 - Called by CSK to lead again. - @VideoMemes_VM

Kohli at 32 - Sacked as Captain by RCB. Rohit at 35 - Sacked as Captain by MI. Dhoni at 43 - Called by CSK to lead again. - @ Manaki_Enduku_

On the points table, both teams are struggling to bounce back, MI is standing at the 8th position, whereas CSK is at the 9th spot. As Chennai gears up for a fresh start, they’ll be eager to turn things around and climb back into contention.
