Want to keep the culture of CSK going: Gaikwad

CAPTAINCY is something that every cricketer wishes to get one day, but only few actually enjoy it.

The pressures and pulls of being a captain is immense. It is all the more high when you captain an iconic side like the Chennai Super Kings. But Ruturaj Gaikwad seems to be comfortable with the job.

MS Dhoni and CSK are synonymous, so comparisons are bound to be there. Dhoni's style of captaincy has always been calm and composed. He never allows emotion to affect him or the team be it a loss or a great win. Plus Dhoni is known to back players and has the unique ability to extract the best out of his players. So many wonder what Gaikwad's approach would be towards the hot seat.

Gaikwad seems to have done his homework well and has a fair understanding of his job.

"Captaincy-wise, I feel I don't want to be a specific kind of character. Just like to flow things as they are flowing. Keep the culture of CSK basically going. I feel the success we had, the things we had been doing... I don't want to change a single bit of it.
