Ruturaj has not been given the captaincy of the team just like that, he has shown world class performance over the years and that is why Dhoni put forward his name for the captaincy. Like all athletes, Gaikwad has had to work on many aspects to consistently perform at a high level. These include physical fitness, mental resilience, nutrition and even hydration. Why hydration is important to take big and quick decisions: Ruturaj Gaikwad “I am often asked what is the secret of your success on the field,” said Gaikwad, Brand Ambassador of Electro+, Amritanjan Healthcare.

“The place where their team plays matches becomes their home ground” – Khalil Ahmed said about CSK’s fan following.
After Delhi Capitals (DC)’s 20-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 31, left-arm fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed has made a big statement regarding CSK’s fan following. Let us tell you that Visakhapatnam is DC’s home ground for the first few matches of the season, but Khalil Ahmed said that, the way CSK gets support, the ground where they play becomes their home ground. During the DC vs CSK match, the stadium in Visakhapatnam was painted yellow and despite it being a home match of the Capitals, many fans of former CSK captain MS Dhoni and his team were present there. Even CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad expressed happiness at the support and welcome he received at the time of the toss. Later, when Khalil was asked about it, he won everyone’s hearts with his answer. Khalil Ahmed surprised to see CSK’s fan following “First of all, let me tell you, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) always plays its IPL matches at home (laughs),” Khaleel was quoted as saying by India Today during the post-match press conference. We also respect it. We also enjoy it and it is fun because he (Dhoni) is our captain also.” The DC fast bowler was surprised to see the fan following of CSK, who create a homely atmosphere for their team everywhere, no matter the ground. Despite DC having few supporters in the stands, a huge number of fans were present on the field to support the Men in Yellow. The fast bowler further said, “But there were some fans from Delhi who came to support us during the match and they will be happy with the result. Everyone in the team has a smile on their face, the mood in the camp is also good.” He further said that, “When you win, you get momentum. Wins bring out our best performances and also reveal areas where we need to improve. Therefore, the environment created now has answered those questions.”
If Mathisha Pathirana is out of IPL, CSK’s problems will increase – big prediction of former KKR batsman
Matheesha Pathirana. (Photo Source: Twitter/IPL) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) may face problems if Mathisha Pathirana is not available for the initial matches of IPL 2024. Pathirana took 19 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.00 in IPL 2023 and was a specialist death bowler for the five-time champions. The Sri Lankan fast bowler recently suffered a hamstring injury and was ruled out of the last match of the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Pathirana’s exclusion could create some problems for CSK. If Mathisha Pathirana is out then CSK’s problems will increase. He said, “Pathirana is injured. There is no clarity on his availability but will his injury cause any problems to Chennai Super Kings? They may have a bit of a problem because Pathirana is their leading bowler in the death overs.” During this, Chopra also admitted that the defending champions have other options for death bowling. But the former India opener believes that the unorthodox fast bowler may be missed. Chopra said, “However, now they have Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar is already there. He got a lot of bowling done by Mahesh Teekshana in the death overs, but he may feel the absence of Mathisha Pathirana a bit.” CSK have Mustafizur Rahman as another overseas seam-bowling option. If Pathirana is not available then the left-arm pacer from Bangladesh will probably be included in the playing XI as he can also bowl well in the death overs.
“Chennai has a complete foreign spin department except Ravindra Jadeja”- Aakash Chopra said on CSK’s weakness.
MS Dhoni will be the captain of CSK in IPL 2024. Aakash Chopra CSK (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are mainly dependent on foreign players in their spin-bowling department in IPL 2024. With 20 wickets in 16 matches, Ravindra Jadeja was the leading wicket-taker for CSK among spinners in IPL 2023. After him, Mahesh Tikshana (11), Moeen Ali (9) and Mitchell Santner (3) were their other successful spin bowlers. Aakash Chopra spoke about CSK’s spin department In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Ravindra Jadeja is the only quality Indian spinner in CSK’s bowling attack. He said, “Except Ravindra Jadeja, Chennai has complete foreign spin players. If we look at Ravindra Jadeja in T20 cricket, especially in IPL, Mahi (MS Dhoni) gets the best out of him. In Chennai, when the ball rotates, he is absolutely brilliant, this happened in the World Cup.” The former India opener observed that the defending champions have four overseas spin-bowling options. Chopra said, “He has Mahesh Teekshana, whom he plays and bowls to. They have Moeen Ali, whom they feed and bowl to. He also has Mitchell Santner, whom he feeds and bowls to. If they want, they can give Rachin Ravindra a chance in place of Devon Conway, he has become another left-arm spin option.” Chopra finally acknowledged that CSK also have Prashant Solanki as the Indian spin-bowling backup. However, he claimed that the five-time champions have a very strong but completely overseas-dependent spin-bowling department. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) squad for IPL 2024– MS Dhoni (captain), Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Devon Conway, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dubey, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hungerkar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajay Mandal, Mukesh Chaudhary, Mathisha Pathirana, Ajinkya Rahane, Sheikh Rashid, Mitchell Santner, Simarjeet.

Before IPL 2024, CSK’s 8.4 crore batsman scored a triple century, the happiness of the franchise is on cloud nine.
Just before the start of IPL 2024, a big good news has come for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The team’s young cricketer Sameer Rizvi is looking in great form before the start of the tournament. The batsman from Uttar Pradesh scored a brilliant century in the Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy against Saurashtra in Kanpur on Sunday. Today he converted that innings into a triple century. In the quarter-final match of the Under-23 tournament between Uttar Pradesh and Saurashtra, Rizvi showed his class and scored unbeaten 134 runs in 117 balls on the first day. Saurashtra won the toss and decided to bowl first. Rizvi proved Saurashtra’s decision of winning the toss wrong and scored a quick century. He remained unbeaten after scoring 134 runs. When he came to bat on Monday, he continued to bat brilliantly and completed his triple century in 261 balls and was out after scoring 312 runs. During his innings he hit 33 fours and 12 sixes. His excellent performance, coupled with a brilliant century (132 runs off 222 balls) from teammate Rituraj Sharma, helped Uttar Pradesh reach a strong score of 684/6 after 139.2 overs. The Uttar Pradesh batsman, known for his quick century in the inaugural match of the UP T20 League, is making waves in the domestic circuit. With a formidable batting average of 49.16 and strike rate of 134.70 in T20s, his skills caught the attention of the Chennai Super Kings selectors. Recently, during the CK Nayudu Trophy, CSK management praised Rizvi after watching his century. There was a fierce bidding war on the auction table for 20-year-old Rizvi in the IPL 2024 auction. He had kept his base price for the auction at Rs 20 lakh but due to his all-round skills, there was a fierce bidding war between Gujarat Titans and CSK and finally CSK bought him for Rs 8.4 crore.
This is what CSK’s playing XI looks like after the mini auction of IPL 2024, the player worth Rs 8.4 crore is not getting a place.
Their most expensive purchase was Daryl Mitchell, who they bought for a huge sum of Rs 14 crore. The Yellow Army also spent Rs 8.40 crore on uncapped Uttar Pradesh player Sameer Rizvi. After the mini-auction, now the question in everyone’s mind is what will be the best playing XI of CSK for this season. In this article we will talk about CSK’s best XI for this season. Best Playing XI of CSK after IPL 2024 Mini-Auction, 1.Devon Conway Devon Conway. (Image Source: IPL Twitter) Devon Conway’s responsibility will be to give a fast start to the team. Last season, he played his role efficiently and made a major contribution to the team’s record-equalling fifth title win. The New Zealand batsman finished as the third-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 672 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 139.70. Although, conway T20 International to be played in 2023 (T20I) struggled to score runs with his bat. This year, the 32-year-old Conway has scored only 78 runs in six matches at a disappointing strike rate of 109.85. CSK fans will keep their expectations high from the Kiwi legend for 2024 and he will look to justify his role with the bat.
