MS Dhoni has stepped down as the captain of the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings and will only be participating in the tournament as a player. CSK veteran Ravindra Jadeja will take over the role when the tournament begins.
Of course, Dhoni is easily the greatest captain this tournament has ever seen with 12 seasons as a captain with 9 finals and 4 trophies. So as you can imagine, fans of the former skipper have been bawling their eyes out paying tribute as the era of MSD as a captain comes to an end.

We use the expression “end of an era” very loosely sometimes. But Dhoni giving up the captaincy of @ChennaiIPL is truly the end of an era for all those loyal fans with whom he forged a relationship of the kind very few have.

It is going to be so weird not seeing Dhoni and Kohli walking out for CSK vs RCB toss. Used to be a wholesome moment.

Man I was literally thinking today how cool it is we still get to see MS Dhoni slay as CSK skip! The captaincy is in safe hands with Jadeja. But it hurts my heart a little knowing Mahi is in the winding down phase of his career. He’s given the game so much & gives us so much joy!

MS Dhoni has left a legacy behind which is incredibly tough for anyone to reach. 12 seasons as CSK captain, 9 finals and 4 trophies. Mad success as a captain, one of the mastermind of the game.

Dhoni leaving captaincy after winning the the IPL trophy is typical vintage Dhoni. Going only after the job is done.

End of an Era. 🥲#ThankYouMS #MSDhoni pic.twitter.com/hyuvc9lhaW
End of an era. 12 seasons as #CSK skipper. The most successful captain in IPL history. Big shoes to fill for Jadeja. This might possibly be #MSDhoni‘s last season as a player. And yet again, #Dhoni has stumped everyone. 😮#ChennaiSuperKings pic.twitter.com/deYlmnmOY7

While it is sad, fans can take solace in the fact that Dhoni is still an active player for CSK and enjoy every moment he is on the ground, because with Dhoni, you just never know.
