CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad saw football playing in the viral video. The Internet says: “Forced …”

Chennai Super Kings Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was removed from the Indian Premier League 2025 due to elbow injury. In his absence, MS Dhoni will lead the champions five times in the ongoing season. This came as a major blow to CSK, as Gaikwad was also valuable for the team as a consistent and reliable inclination. Gaikwad continued the coup on March 30 when he was shot by a short ball from England and Rajasthan Royals Pace Pace Jofra Archer. After that, he continued to play two games. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming, sharing the news, “Guwahati (VS RR) was hit. Working with some pain. We took an X-ray and had a MRI that caused a fracture in the radial neck.” He said.

Gaikwad is already outside the tournament, a video of playing football has become viral on social media. NDTV could not confirm whether the video has been withdrawn recently or whether there was an old video.

In the clip on the surface, it can be seen that Gaikwad played football during CSK training. The video saw that many fans question the injury of the player.

“Is it forced to fall?” a fan asked. “Old video,” he claimed another fan.

While Gaikwad suffered against Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, CSK medical team can only make MRI after swelling decreases.

“That’s why we’re disappointed and we feel it. We appreciate the efforts he’s trying to play, but he’il get out of the tournament.” He said.

The head coach also said that Gaikwad wanted to “continue”, but the call for a call should be made.

Although Gaikwad was easily the best tendency in the last five games, Floundering often was often disappointed by a Floundering show by the middle order that CSK has not chased more than 180.

Although CSK has seems to be very irrelevant so far, there is not much option, except to bring Rahul Tripathi back in the first third.

Deepak Hooda, one of the experienced CSK players, may be in moderate.

CSK can also look at Delhi Boy Vansh Bedi, which is not tested to make some power kick.

The Chennai team is entitled to a player instead of a player and Mumbai young Ayush Mhatre can fill this nest.
