With power comes great responsibility. These words will ring true to Ruturaj Gaikwad right now, who’s just taken over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captaincy from one of the greatest captains cricket has ever seen, MS Dhoni. Filling the shoes of a living legend who has 5 IPL titles and 3 ICC trophies to his name won’t be a small task. But, Ruturaj is up for it.
After being given the role of skipper, Ruturaj labeled it a ‘privilege’ and a ‘huge responsibility’.
I have Mahi bhai: Ruturaj Gaikwad
Taking on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against a packed home in his first-ever game as CSK captain won’t be easy. Going against the likes of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell will be a challenge, but Ruturaj Gaikwad is prepared for it.
He has everything he needs. As he said, “I have Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) in the team, Jaddu bhai (Ravindra Jadeja), and Ajju bhai (Ajinkya Rahane) as well, to guide me. Nothing to worry, just looking forward to enjoy.“
