With Ruturaj Gaikwad stepping into the shoes of MS Dhoni as the skipper of Team CSK for IPL 2024, there’s an inevitable transition period for the players. Despite Gaikwad’s commendable leadership in the first two matches, winning both, the team is still adjusting to the change.
After CSK’s victory against GT, fast bowler Deepak Chahar candidly admitted to the slight confusion among players regarding whom to turn to in crucial moments. Chahar humorously remarked, “Now I see both sides, I get confused where to see.” However, he was quick to acknowledge Gaikwad’s effective leadership.
His journey to being captain wasn’t a sudden one. He revealed that last year MS Dhoni had given hints and then gradually involved him in practice match simulations; Gaikwad remembers the social media buzz when Dhoni mentioned a new role leading to speculation.
