Ruturaj Gaikwad led the Super Kings in five games in the IPL 2025, and they managed to secure just one victory. He sustained an elbow injury during a match against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) but continued to play through discomfort in the next matches against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Delhi Capitals (DC).
In a video shared by CSK on X (formerly known as Twitter), Gaikwad expressed disappointment over the injury but thanked fans for their support. He referred to Dhoni as a “young wicketkeeper” and hoped the team would improve under his leadership.
