However, today we will tell you three main reasons why Chennai Super Kings have taken a very wrong decision by appointing Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain of the team. 1- Rituraj Gaikwad does not have any captaincy experience in IPL. Ruturaj Gaikwad (Image Credit- Twitter) The biggest problem with Ruturaj Gaikwad is that he has not captained even once in the Indian Premier League. For the first time in the Indian Premier League, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been given the captaincy of the team. Not only this, Rituraj Gaikwad also does not have much experience in the Indian Premier League. All the fans must have felt very bad that Ruturaj Gaikwad has been appointed as the captain of the team in place of Dhoni. This is also because the franchise has other players who could have captained the team in the upcoming season. Any one of Moeen Ali, Ajinkya Rahane and Daryl Mitchell could have been appointed captain of the team.
