Expectations are massive on his shoulders as he is positioned as the successor of the legendary MS Dhoni, who guided the team for 5 IPL titles. Rutuaj is far from Dhoni’s legacy and record.
The team management has so far shown deep faith in Ruturaj Gaikwad. In the presence of Ruturaj, will the management take a step further to appoint Samson as the leader?
When will Sanju Samson receive the leadership role?
“Whether Sanju is named captain from next year or the following season, he is 200 per cent the next captain of CSK,” a source told cricblogger.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is so far decent as the Chennai Super Kings leader
Ruturaj has captained CSK in 31 IPL matches, registering 14 wins, 17 losses, and a win percentage of 45.16%. He officially took over the leadership role from MS Dhoni ahead of the 2024 season. However, because of a serious injury, he was ruled out for the 2025 season, with Dhoni back again as the captain.
Ahead of the ongoing season, showing massive trust in Sanju Samson, CSK traded him from the Rajasthan Royals in the expenses of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. Currently, CSK is balancing on a thin rope between the play-offs and the exit door.
