IPL 2021: Dhoni reveals how he assessed Ruturaj Gaikwad's mental grit

India TV News  

Chennai Super Kings paid a heavy price last season when they failed to show faith in their young talents in the early stages of the tournament. Later Ruturaj Gaikwad, who found form in the latter half of the season, showed the class he possessed with a string of half centuries. However, the opener came off good against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday with a blistering knock of 64 in CSK's 18-run win. Despite the early season jitters, the right-handed batsman received unconditional support from CSK skipper MS Dhoni, who revealed after Wednesday's win that he once assessed the mental grit of Gaikwad in a precarious situation and understood that the Maharashtra young man is not undeterred by trouble coming his way.
