Ruturaj Gaikwad is sidelined from IPL due to an elbow injury, leading to MS Dhoni's return as captain of CSK. Gaikwad's injury happened after a short delivery from Jofra Archer during a match. CSK faces a pivotal moment in the IPL season.

Ruturaj Gaikwad Injury: Dhoni Leads CSK Again

Chennai Super Kings suffer a setback as captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is ruled out of IPL with an elbow injury. MS Dhoni will assume captaincy. Gaikwad was injured by a short delivery from Jofra Archer. Challenges lay ahead for CSK.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is sidelined from IPL, leading to MS Dhoni's return as captain of CSK

Ruturaj Gaikwad's exit due to injury has forced CSK to reinstate MS Dhoni as captain for the remainder of the IPL season. This news comes as a significant setback following Gaikwad's injury from Jofra Archer's short delivery.

Chennai Super Kings were dealt a severe blow on Thursday as regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the IPL due to an elbow injury, a development that has brought back Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the leadership role.
CSK head coach Stephen Fleming confirmed the development.
"Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out of IPL with fracture on elbow. MS Dhoni to take over as captain," Fleming told mediapersons on Thursday.
Gaikwad sustained the blow when he was hit by a short ball from Jofra Archer.

CSK had to make two changes for the match as their Sri Lankan pacer Pathirana was nursing a niggle and Deshpande was unwell.

IPL 2024: CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad rues absence of Pathirana-Deshpande after another loss at Chepauk

CSK had to make two changes for the match as their Sri Lankan pacer Pathirana was nursing a niggle and Deshpande was unwell.

The absence of two frontline bowlers, Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande, and copious amount of dew at the Chepauk Stadium hurt Chennai Super Kings in their seven-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings at Chepauk on Wednesday, reckoned skipper Ruturaj Gaikward.
CSK could only muster a below-par 162/7. Gaikwad made a handsome 62 but other batters struggled against accurate spin bowling by Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar.
CSK had to make two changes for the match as their Sri Lankan pacer Pathirana was nursing a niggle and Deshpande was unwell.
Replacements Richard Gleeson and Shardul Thakur failed to impress as heavy dew set in during PBKS's chase.
"It is a real problem (not having Pathirana and Deshpande). There are phases where you want to get a wicket, and you have only two bowlers, plus the spinners are out of the question because of the dew. Can't do much," Gaikwad rued during the post-match presentation.
The skipper added that the dew compounded CSK's problem as they tried to restrict PBKS batters.
"It's very difficult. Even in the last game, we were quite surprised that we would win by that much margin.
"This (dew) is something we can't control. We can slightly bat better in the first innings. In the last two games, we tried our best to get 200-210. It was tough to get 180 in this pitch," he said.
Gaikwad said another 50-60 runs would have made the difference.
"50-60 runs short to be honest. When we were batting first, the pitch wasn't great, plus the dew as well (in the second innings)." The skipper also rued his luck with the toss, saying despite trying his best, he couldn't find the right formula to call it right.
"I have practised (toss) a lot. I have tossed it in the match. I am winning in the practice, but not winning in the match. What to do. I am really under pressure at the toss, not at the game," said Gaikwad.

Had Gaikwad scored 2 more runs, it would have been his second consecutive hundred of the IPL. Nevertheless, his knock off just 54 balls powered CSK to a healthy 212/3.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is making a strong case for himself to punch his ticket for the T20 World Cup as the Chennai Super Kings opener smashed a fiery yet a classic 98 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024 on Sunday.
Had he scored 2 more runs, it would have been his second consecutive hundred of the IPL. Nevertheless, his knock off just 54 balls powered CSK to a healthy 212/3.
The CSK skipper showcased his exceptional skills and temperament. Despite the early loss of his opening partner, Ajinkya Rahane, Gaikwad's composed and resilient innings anchored CSK's batting lineup.
After stitching a 107-run stand with Daryl Mitchell, Gaikwad found an attacking ally in Shivam Dube. The pair scored a fiery 74-run partnership like they did in the previous game against LSG.
In the last game, Gaikwad's 2nd IPL hundred had marked the first-ever century by a CSK captain, and the first at Chepauk since Brendon McCullum's memorable ton against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2015.

CSK batters broke little sweat in chasing down that target. It looked like a completely different wicket to bat on as Chennai crossed the finish line with 14 balls to spare.

IPL 2024, CSK vs KKR: Ruturaj Gaikwad strikes form as Chennai return to winning ways

Put into bat, KKR raced to 56/1 in the powerplay overs but completely lost their way after that.
Ravindra Jadeja put on a spin masterclass and claimed 3 wickets to reduce the visitors to 64/4. Kolkata couldn't recover from there on and kept losing wickets. Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 34 but just 87 runs in the next 15 overs meant that the Knights were restricted to a mere 137/9.

Despite losing Rachin Ravindra for 15, Ruturaj Gaikwad found his mojo back and carried his side over the finish line with an unbeaten 67. It's also his highest score at the Chepauk (His previous best was 60).
The Chennai crowd had their money's worth when MS Dhoni came out to bat to play 3 deliveries and gave fans what they wanted.
Kolkata tasted defeat for the first time this season as their 3-match winning run came to an end.

In a video shared by IPL, Gaikwad revealed that he had an inkling about taking the baton from MS Dhoni since last season.

<h2>"It's a huge responsibility but I am really excited because of the kind of group we have" - Ruturaj Gaikwad on becoming CSK captain.</h2>

In a significant announcement that took the cricket world by surprise, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) revealed Ruturaj Gaikwad as their captain for the upcoming 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, marking the end of MS Dhoni's iconic leadership era. The revelation comes as the franchise prepares for a new chapter, acknowledging the need for transition with Dhoni nearing the twilight of his illustrious cricket career, set to turn 43 in July. While they did try it once with Ravindra Jadeja in IPL 2022, it didn't work, with the franchise finishing 9th on the table. The following season, with Dhoni once again at the helm, the franchise won their 5th title. Maybe, Gaikwad will prove to be a worthy successor.
The opener, who has been part of CSK since 2019 and has played 52 matches for the team, steps into a role vacated by MS Dhoni, arguably the IPL's most successful captain. The Maharashtra batter, although experienced in leading at the domestic level, faces the daunting task of filling Dhoni's considerable shoes. However, at 27, Gaikwad is primed to lead, and his captaincy is buoyed by the continued presence of Dhoni in a mentorship capacity on the field, ensuring a smoother transition for the franchise.
Expressing his sentiments upon his appointment as captain, Gaikwad acknowledged both the honour and the immense responsibility that comes with the role. "Feels good! It's a privilege obviously. I feel, more than that, it's a huge responsibility but I am really excited because of the kind of group we have. Everyone's experienced enough, so not much of a thing for me to do. Plus, I have Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai in the team, Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja) bhai as well, Ajju (Ajinkya Rahane) bhai as well, who's been a great captain to guide me. So, nothing much to worry, just looking forward to enjoy it," Gaikwad shared.
As Gaikwad steps into his new role, his outlook is one of optimism and readiness, buoyed by the support of seasoned players like Jadeja and Rahane, along with the legendary Dhoni himself. With IPL 2024, CSK are looking to start a new chapter, and all eyes will be on Gaikwad as he embarks on this leadership journey with one of the most celebrated teams in IPL history.

IPL didn't provide any such information for Dhoni, which led the fans to speculate that MSD might have handed over the captaincy duties to Gaikwad.

No MS Dhoni as CSK captain in IPL 2024; Ruturaj Gaikwad to lead Men in Yellow

CSK on Thursday announced that MS Dhoni has passed on the captaincy baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of IPL 2024. Here is the official statement.

An official statement from the franchise read, "MS Dhoni has handed over Chennai Super Kings&rsquo; captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of the start of IPL 2024. "

The Chennai Super Kings dropped a bombshell on Thursday, just a day ahead of CSK vs RCB IPL 2024 opening game, that MS Dhoni will not lead the Men in Yellow.
An official statement from the franchise read, "MS Dhoni has handed over Chennai Super Kings&rsquo; captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of the start of IPL 2024. "
"Ruturaj has been an integral part of CSK since 2019 and has played 52 matches in IPL during this period. The team looks forward to the upcoming season," the statement added.
The official announcement came moments after the IPL released pictures of the 2024 captains photoshoot and surprisingly, it was Ruturaj Gaikwad who turned up for the Chennai Super Kings instead of MS Dhoni.
A similar thing happened with the Punjab Kings where Jitesh Sharma represented the PBKS franchise instead of Shikhar Dhawan. However, IPL's social media handle clarified that Punjab was 'being represented by vice-captain Jitesh Sharma.'
It didn't provide any such information for Dhoni, which led the fans to speculate that MSD might have handed over the captaincy duties to Gaikwad.&nbsp;
IPL 2024 is expected to be Dhoni's swansong as the former India captain is likely to hang up his boots after this season. However, no official announcement has been made yet.
Dhoni retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, but has continued to play for CSK since then. He has led Chennai to 5 IPL titles in 16 IPL seasons.
Interestingly, it was the first time since the start of IPL back in 2008 that the IPL captains photoshoot didn't feature either MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma.

After it became clear that Ruturaj Gaikwad wouldn't recover from his finger injury in time, the team management after discussions with BCCI decided to release him from the squad in South Africa.

Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out of India-South Africa Test series due to finger injury

<h2>After it became clear that Ruturaj Gaikwad wouldn't recover from his finger injury in time, the team management after discussions with BCCI decided to release him from the squad in South Africa.</h2>

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the upcoming two-Test series against South Africa. The decision comes after it was revealed that the young opening batter will not be able to recover in time from a finger injury he sustained earlier.
According to Cricbuzz, internal sources from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that 26-year-old Gaikwad sustained a finger injury during the second One Day International (ODI) against South Africa in Port Elizabeth on December 19. This injury has led to his release from the ongoing Indian team's campaign in South Africa.
The BCCI, before the commencement of the third ODI, had released a statement indicating Gaikwad's injury status. It read, "(He) hasn't fully recovered from the blow he sustained to his ring finger while fielding in the second ODI. He remains under the supervision of the BCCI Medical Team."
As the situation evolved, it became clear that Gaikwad would not be able to recuperate in time for the Test matches. Consequently, after discussions with the BCCI, the team management in South Africa decided to release him from the squad. Gaikwad is anticipated to return to India by Saturday.

Gaikwad slammed a career-best 123 not out off just 57 balls with 13 fours and seven sixes, a first ton by an Indian batter against Australia in T20 Internationals.

Ruturaj Gaikwad displayed brute power and wonderful technique in equal measure with a maiden hundred that propelled India to a commanding 222 for 3 against Australia in the third T20 International here on Tuesday.
Gaikwad slammed a career-best 123 not out off just 57 balls with 13 fours and seven sixes, a first ton by an Indian batter against Australia in T20 Internationals.
The 30 runs that Gaikwad took off Glenn Maxwell in the 20th over could prove to be a game-changer. Skipper Matthew Wade's decision to give a part-time off-spinner 20th over of the innings backfired big-time.
On a wicket that had some extra bounce and swing, India had a shaky start losing their both their in-form batters Yashasvi Jaiswal (6) and Ishan Kishan (0) cheaply after Matthew Wade opted to bowl to make use of the dewy conditions.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav (39; 29b) looked set for a big knock with two sixes and five boundaries before debutant pacer Aaron Hardie dismissed him with a short ball just after the halfway mark.
With run-rate not an issue -- eight per over -- they needed someone to anchor their innings, and the Indian vice-captain Gaikwad played the role to perfection.
From 13 off 15 balls, the right-hander with orthodox technique, who often drew flak for his slow starts, switched gears after Surya's dismissal, displaying the wide array of shots in his repertoire.
His knock was not just about classical drives in the V but also a testament to his brute power. He packed a lot of punch in his pulls and an inside-out maximums. It was a different Gaikwad on display during last six overs.
Once he got his furst 50 off 32 balls, he then went berserk, taking another 20 to bring up his maiden triple digit score in the last over of Maxwell.
Gaikwad muscled Maxwell over wide long to to bring up his century with a six as he smashed two more in the same over that yielded 30 runs as India amassed 200-plus totals in each of the three T20Is so far.&nbsp;

Yuvraj Singh's six sixes have been one of the most memorable memories for every Indian cricket fan.

The defending champions Chennai super kings failed to make the playoffs of the 2022 season of IPL after losing their game to Mumbai Indians.
This is only the second time in IPL history that Chennai failed to qualify.
Here are the three reasons why Chennai failed to qualify for the playoffs
The leadership conundrum
MS Dhoni dropped a bombshell just one day ahead of IPL 2022 kick-off that he has handed over the CSK captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja. The team under Jadeja's leadership & failed to perform up to their mark. A few matches later, Jadeja handed back the captaincy duties to Dhoni.
Lack of wicket-takers in the powerplay
Chennai's costliest buy Deepak Chahar pulled his hamstring ahead of IPL 2022. To start with, he was ruled out for the first half of the tournament. During the rehab, he injured his back which ruled him out of the tournament. In absence of Chahar, Chennai failed to find a replacement for Chahar who could pick wickets in the powerplay. Mukesh Choudhary and Simarjeet Singh rose to the occasion in the latter half of the tournament but by that time it was too late for the four-time champions.
Ruturaj Gaikwad's poor form
Among the many mantras of Chennai's success in IPL, runs by the openers have been the most important one. However, Gaikwad's patchy form came as a major setback. Gaikwad who was the highest run-getter for CSK last season, got his mojo back in the second-half tournament which was again too late for the team.

It was a big blow for Chennai when their key players, Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad suffered injuries during India's white-ball series against West Indies in February. While the 2022 season of the IPL is just days away, CSK's team management is still waiting for an update on their fitness status, said the franchise's CEO, Kashi Vishwanathan. While Gaikwad suffered an injury in his hand, Chahar sustained a hamstring tear. CSK's most expensive buy, Chahar needs to stay out for at least 6-8 weeks to recover from the injury which means he will at least miss the first phase of the lucrative league if not the complete season.Vishwanathan however, said that BCCI has told the franchise that both the players who are currently under rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy are match fit. The defending champions are set to begin their campaign on March 26th against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rohit Sharma had made it clear that the team management was determined to try as many players as possible ahead of the World T20 and the India skipper continued to be true to his words. 
As Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were rested for the 3rd and final T20I vs the West Indies, Rohit brought in Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer. Not just that, the Hitman sacrificed his usual opening slot to let Gaikwad face the new ball. Though the experiment didn't work and he was out for 4, Rohit let Shreyas Iyer come in at number 3 and pushed himself further down the order. The newly appointed KKR captain bats one down in the IPL as well.
The new all-format skipper is considerate towards the bowlers as well. After giving Ravi Bishnoi his India cap in the T20 series, pacer Avesh Khan also made his India debut in the 3rd T20I.
Clearly, Rohit and the team management made want to give young players the confidence they deserve by letting them bat at positions where they are comfortable.
