IPL 2024: Ruturaj Gaikwad reveals when he was told about leading Chennai?

The charismatic Mahendra Singh Dhoni told Ruturaj Gaikwad to be prepared for Chennai Super Kings captaincy back in 2022 and he has been ready ever since even though there were no "deep conversations" between the two on how to lead one of the most successful IPL units. Gaikwad, who led from the front in the win against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday night, was stunningly appointed CSK captain a day before the IPL opener on March 22. The team's earlier leadership experiment with Ravindra Jadeja did not work but the CSK think-tank has been bullish about Gaikwad's long-term reign. Dhoni is known for his no nonsense approach and that is how he discussed the transition with Gaikwad. "To be honest, not really deep conversations. I feel it was in a very chilled state. Just one conversation I would say. Just we were practicing and he came and told me all this stuff," Gaikwad said in the post-match press conference after the seven-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders here on ...

IPL 2024; Varun Chakaravarthy fells KKR could have assessed pitch better:

Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakaravarthy says misreading the pitch contributed immensely to their downfall against hosts Chennai Super Kings here. The pitch used for the game on Monday behaved differently compared to the ones used for the first two games. KKR managed only 137/9 and CSK chased it down in 17.4 overs. "When I saw the wicket, it appeared to be a flat one. But the way it behaved was totally different," said Chakaravarthy in the post-match media interaction. "We could have assessed the pitch better because it was very slow initially. It was tough to connect the ball, but I felt 160 would have been a par score. "Also, there was a lot of dew. The last over that I bowled to (Shivam) Dube made a lot of difference since the seam was very wet, and I couldn't grip the ball much," said the mystery spinner. The seven-wicket defeat on Monday was KKR's first loss of the season. Chakaravarthy failed to get a single wicket, finishing with figures of 0/26, but he was the m

IPL 2024: Fifty vs KKR to help Gaikwad's decision-making as captain- Morgan

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad's 58-ball 67 against Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL game here will not only make him a confident batter but also an assured captain, feels World Cup winning former England skipper Eoin Morgan. Gaikwad, who has taken over leadership duties from the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, had scores of 15, 1, 46 and 26 in the first four games before striking big against KKR on Monday, whi was his first half-century of the current season. "This innings (67 vs KKR) will build a huge amount of belief and confidence for him (Gaikwad) in his game. Playing an innings like this, early in the tournament will give him a lot of reassurance on his decision-making and pass on a message to the team," Morgan, a JioCinema TATA IPL expert, was quoted as saying in a press release. Morgan, who had led KKR to the final of the 2021 IPL, was happy to see the CSK skipper in sublime touch. "He is a classy player, we have seen that for a long time now and it is great to

IPL 2024: Injured Mayank Yadav likely to miss LSG's next match on April 12

Young pace sensation Mayank Yadav in all likelihood will miss Lucknow Super Giants next IPL match against Delhi Capitals at home on April 12 because of an abdominal niggle which will require monitoring over the week, the franchise's CEO stated on Monday. Mayank suffered the niggle during LSG's 33-run win over Gujarat Titans at Lucknow on Sunday night. Mayank felt soreness in lower abdominal area and as a precaution we are managing his workload over the next week. We hope to see him soon on the field, said Vinod Bisht, the CEO of the Super Giants in a statement. However, the statement meant that Mayank might be a non-starter even in LSG's weekend game (April 14) against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. With Bisht being non-committal about his possible return to action, things aren't exactly looking great for the injury prone speedster. While one match absence is safely on cards, lower abdominal injuries for fast bowlers does take more time to heal. On Sunday night, Mayan
