Ruturaj Gaikwad got the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings last year. Five-time champion captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) left this post. However, Gaikwad was not very successful as a captain.

In fact, during IPL 2024, CSK could not even qualify for the playoffs. Under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, this team was in the fifth position in the points table. Chennai could win only 7 matches out of 14 matches. In such a situation, in the next season, the team management can relieve the 27-year-old player from the responsibility of captaincy, so that he can focus on his batting.
