On Wednesday, Ruturaj Gaikwad left Bengaluru for Surat to join CSK’s camp. The team will leave for Mumbai on March 24 before their match against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 26. Earlier, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told InsideSport that Ruturaj will join the camp by March 17.
Chennai Super Kings have long begun their preparations with their very own camp in Surat. The likes of captain MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ambati Rayudu and Co. have all made the trip in a bid to get in shape and rhythm ahead of the new season. Gaikwad, one of the vital cogs in last season’s title win, was absent having been called up to the NCA for a white ball camp.
