IPL 2024: Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK made a big mistake by making captain, here are three big reasons for it.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: Indian Premier League 2024 starts from 22nd March.

Indian Premier League 2024 starts from 22nd March. The first match of this fantastic tournament will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, before the start of this tournament, Chennai Super Kings has appointed Ruturaj Gaikwad as its new captain.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is the new captain of Chennai Super Kings. Let us tell you, Chennai Super Kings has won the trophy of this magnificent tournament five times under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Now in the upcoming season, the team would definitely like to win this trophy once again under the captaincy of Rituraj Gaikwad.

However, today we 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.

MS Dhoni Steps Down As Captain Of CSK: Ruturaj Gaikwad to Lead the franchise in IPL 2024

1- Ruturaj Gaikwad does not have any captaincy experience in IPL.

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, Ruturaj 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.

2- Ruturaj Gaikwad does not have as much experience as Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Let us tell you, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been with Chennai Super Kings since 2008 in the Indian Premier League. Under his captaincy, the team has won the trophy of this excellent tournament five times. He has left his mark in this tournament not only with batting but also with wicketkeeping.

Ruturaj Gaikwad was included in their team by Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2019 whereas he made his debut in this fantastic tournament in the 2020 edition. Even though Rituraj Gaikwad has played 52 matches in IPL, his experience is much less than MS Dhoni.

3- Mahendra Singh Dhoni has the biggest fan base

Former Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has a huge fan base. Many people cheer Chennai Super Kings because they want to see Mahendra Singh Dhoni playing. In the Indian Premier League 2023, it was seen that wherever the matches of Chennai Super Kings were held, all the fans of the franchise had come to cheer loudly for their team.

Talking about Gaikwad, now a huge responsibility has been placed on his shoulders. Ruturaj will not only have to perform well himself but he will also have to take many important decisions for his team so that Chennai Super Kings wins the upcoming season. If the performance of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2024 remains very disappointing, then questions will definitely be raised as to why Ruturaj Gaikwad was appointed captain of the team in place of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
