New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings, regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, has experienced a great setback because it was removed from the IPL because of the elbow injury – a development that opened the way to return to the leadership role of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming confirmed the news on Thursday. Gaikwad continued to be injured after he was shot by a short ball from Jofra Archer during CSKs IPL 2025 Conflict against Rajasthan Royals.
“Ruturaj Gaikwad took out IPL, which is broken on the elbow. Mrs. Dhoni will take over as a captain, Fleming said to Mediapersons on Thursday.
“He (Gaikwad) Got Hit in Guwahati. He’s Been Operating with an Amount of Pain. We Got an X-ray, Who Was Inconclusive, and We Had an MRI, WHICH REVEALED A FRASTURTE IN HİT EL EL ELİN For Him, we will take over the trying to play, but unchantely, he will take over.
Dhoni de Gaikwad, who was released for the CSK, confirmed that he went out of the season. Instead of Gaikwad, he made two changes, including Anshul Kamboj, who brought Rahul Tripathi instead of Gaikwad.
“First we were looking for bat. What we’re trying to chase and noticed it, if the little door slows down a little, so if you don’t make a good start, the middle order comes under pressure. (Ruturaj) has broken something in the elbow, so he took out the tournament, he will look very authenticly, he said in a very authentic way.
“(On the importance of winning the game) is now important, every game is important. We have lost too much matches and now it is important to make the foundations correctly – take the dot balls, take our captures. A few games we have lost by big margins, but otherwise they will not remain approximately more authentic for 20 running.
