IPL 2026 was another disappointing season for the five-time IPL-winning side, finishing 8th in the ten-team league. During the campaign, Gaikwad’s performance as captain and as the team's opener was under the scanner, as in both cases he failed to meet expectations.
CSK’s last trophy-winning moment was in the IPL 2023 season. Since then, the franchise has been in search of the seventh title.
Sanju Samson or Hardik Pandya potent candidates to become next CSK captain?
There were rumours that Sanju Samson could replace Ruturaj as the captain, which did not happen and will not happen either ahead of the IPL 2027 campaign, as claimed by the RevSportz journalist Rohit Juglan.
It is now widely speculated that CSK is pushing itself to confirm Hardik Pandya in the line-up. It will be another mega deal if the Chennai-based franchise is able to convince the Mumbai Indians to release Pandya.
Ruturaj Gaikwad to remain as CSK captain
Mentioning his previous social media post, where he said “no decisions as of now around CSK changing Ruturaj Gaikwad as captain”, which he shared on June 1, 2026, he said the same on July 30, 2026.
“As of July 29–30, whether Hardik Pandya comes or not, regardless of Sanju Samson's situation or how well he performs before the next IPL, or whoever else joins. CSK's decision is clear for now: Ruturaj will remain the captain. I said it yesterday, and I'm saying it again today: there is no discussion about changing Ruturaj Gaikwad as CSK's captain,” Rohit said in his recent YouTube video.
