Ruturaj Gaikwad replacement is Ayush Mhatre; a 17-year-old young batsman from Mumbai. Chennai Super Kings captain Gaikwad was replaced in the squad due to facing injury last week.
As a result, he is being ruled out of the rest of the Indian Premier League season. Gaikwad’s impact as a captain and batsman was not at all good.
However, Mhatre getting the chance ahead of unsold player Prithvi Shaw might surprise many. In Gaikwad’s absence, MS Dhoni took over the leadership against the Kolkata Knight Riders at home last Friday.
However, the five-time IPL winners lost the game by 8 wickets.
CSK are at the bottom of the IPL table (10th), having won just one game out of six. In five matches played for CSK, injury-hit Gaikwad scored 122 runs.
So, his form was something that CSK might not miss. However, not having a winnings formula is hitting them to the core.
