Ruturaj Gaikwad is young, talented and is a great future prospect. Gaikwad has all the making of a captain. He has a calm head. An amazing batter who can lead from the front. Only problem is that CSK will have to be patient with him as skipper. He may take some seasons to get results for CSK. (Image source: Twitter)

Devon Conway is another foreign player who can do the job. New Zealanders connect well with CSK. Stephen Fleming is a great example of that. Like Fleming, Conway too is a man who likes to work in the background. Conway is a team man, brilliant batter and a very sensible cricketer. In that sense, Conway is a perfect captaincy material.

England Test captain has Ben Stokes just won the T20 World Cup for England last year, finding his mojo back in the shortest format of the game. He looks to be the ideal candidate for the CSK captaincy. Stokes has retired from ODIs and can give his attention to IPL. He is a proven leader who has changed the way Test cricket is played as captain of the England side. (Image source: Twitter)
