Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 337 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 123.44 this season. His cautious starts were questioned more often. As criticism grew, Sanju Samson was tipped to take over as CSK captain. The wicketkeeper-batter arrived at Chennai before the 2026 season and brought with him valuable captaincy experience from his years with the Rajasthan Royals.
No captaincy change! CSK continue to back Ruturaj Gaikwad
He added that injuries to key players, constant changes in combinations, and the ongoing transition were the major reasons behind Chennai's poor campaign.
