Dhoni was reinstated as the captain of CSK after Jadeja relinquished the top post to focus on his own game. After Dhoni took over, CSK defeated SRH on Sunday. With the win, CSK now has six points from nine games with three wins.
The last time a captaincy was changed during an IPL was in 2021 when Dinesh Karthik stepped down and Eoin Morgan took over the reins of KKR. With his return as captain, Dhoni is now the oldest Indian captain in a T20 at the age of 40 years and 298 days. He surpassed Rahul Dravid who captained Rajasthan Royals against Mumbai Indians in 2013 at the age of 40 years and 268 days.

Against SRH, CSK was asked to bat first and the MS Dhoni-led squad placed 202/2 in 20 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad knocked out 99 while Devon Conway went unbeaten at 85. Hyderabad got their first wicket after 17.5 overs when T Natarajan dismissed Gaikwad.
Mukesh Choudhary then took four wickets while CSK limited SRH to 189/6 to take a 13-run victory.
