Pressure on CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad with MS Dhoni cloud around him: Matthew Hayden

India Today  

Former Australia and CSK opener Matthew Hayden has said that Ruturaj Gaikwad has not been able to deliver his best as captain of the Super Kings so far in IPL 2024 while adding that it's not going to be easy for the young opener to step into the shoes of the legendary MS Dhoni. So Ruturaj Gaikwad might be having that sort of pressure inside him, and maybe his reaction and decision-making process need to be just a little quicker and a little sharper," Matthew Hayden told Star Sports after CSK's 2nd loss of IPL 2024. Ruturaj Gaikwad's decision-making as the new CSK captain came under the scanner, especially after he was criticised for his bowling changes against a star-studded SRH batting unit. Despite bringing mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana into the XI, Ruturaj went with pace in the first 3 overs and paid the price as SRH opener Abhishek Sharma tore into left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary, who was playing his first IPL match since the 2022 season.
