Former Team India skipper steps up after elbow injury rules out Ruturaj Gaikwad for rest of season
Having lost four games in a row, five-time IPL title-holders Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be desperate to get their IPL 2025 campaign back on track under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has been handed the captaincy after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the remainder of the season due to a hairline fracture of the elbow.
Gaikwad, who has been CSK's top run-getter in three of the last four seasons, sustained a blow to his elbow while facing Tushar Deshpande in CSK's March 30 clash against Rajasthan Royals. Though he featured in the next two games against Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, scans have now confirmed a fracture.
"Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out of IPL with fracture on elbow. MS Dhoni to take over as captain," CSK announced on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Dhoni, who had previously led the side to all five titles, before stepping down as captain ahead of the 2024 season, will be under pressure to turn the tide for the side as it prepares to take on defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.
