DTVHINDI“If you want to score runs, you have to work on it” – Aakash Chopra told the biggest weakness of CSK captain
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has exposed a major weakness of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Actually, Chennai Super Kings has to play a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad on Friday, April 5 and just before this match, Aakash Chopra talked about the biggest weakness of the Chennai captain this season. Aakash Chopra said that Ruturaj Gaikwad has been troubled a lot by the left arm pacers this season. Left-arm fast bowlers have dismissed Gaikwad in all three of his innings in the current edition of the IPL. Yash Dayal, Spencer Johnson and Khalil Ahmed have sent him to the pavilion by getting him caught out by the wicketkeeper or at first slip. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra picked Gaikwad as Chennai Super Kings’ star performer for Friday’s match. They said that, “I am focusing a lot on the captain because Ruturaj has top class numbers against this team. He has won the Player of the Match award and scored 50 or more runs. So why not Ruturaj Gaikwad? What has happened so far – the left-arm seamers are troubling him.” The former India batsman said that the CSK opener cannot face T Natarajan and Marco Jansen. They said that, “However, we don’t know whether T Natarajan is available or not and I don’t see Marco Jensen playing. When the pitch is so flat, I am very hopeful that he will score runs. He looks in good form but the number of runs is lacking.” Chopra also believed that SRH’s bowling attack could have Jaydev Unadkat as a left-arm fast bowler. However, he also said that the Saurashtra bowler has less chances of dismissing the CSK batsman and even if he does, their batsman will not get out cheaply against CSK.

Sunil Gavaskar was very impressed with Rituraj’s captaincy, told his 3 biggest qualities
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar talked about the new Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad about his qualities as a captain after the win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). After taking over the captaincy from MS Dhoni, Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings started their 2024 campaign with a win. They defeated RCB by six wickets in the first match of IPL in Chepauk on 22 March. The changes Gaikwad made in bowling and the way he showed confidence in his players made him look quite impressive as a captain. He supported Tushar Deshpande in the death overs, despite the bowler proving very expensive in his first spell. Gavaskar has enumerated three specialties of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy. Sunil Gavaskar told Specialty of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports show, “Absolutely! As a captain, your debut becomes very important. You want to make a good start to your captaincy career with a win and that is what happened. What was impressive was the variation in his bowling. Look how they used Mustafizur. The way he used Mustafizur was absolutely amazing. He kept rotating Deepak Chahar and relied on Tushar Deshpande for the final over. I think given that Tushar Deshpande had conceded 25 runs in an over, he had the opportunity to use another bowler, but he still showed confidence in Tushar Deshpande, and Deshpande did that with a brilliant final over. responded to.” He further added, “So, yes, I think the captaincy was the most impressive. And we see here, of course, he has MS Dhoni around him, who guides him, tells him and encourages him. Sometimes, even a small gesture from an experienced and accomplished person like MSD makes a big difference.”
