With the commencement of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) just a few hours away, and with all the hullabaloo and hype being built around the tournament’s opening encounter between previous season finalists in CSK and KKR, MS Dhoni decides to take the centre stage, and hogs all the limelight with a massive decision.
With the Cricket fans ready to witness ‘Captain cool’ lead his franchise yet again, vintage Dhoni does what he does best – takes a decision out of the blue for the umpteenth time, but this time to step down as captain of one of the most successful IPL franchise, and handing it over to the flamboyant Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
Just yet another MS Dhoni decision without any previous intimation, but a decision so massive that millions of people would keep talking about it for quite some days to come.
