Newly appointed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad says the confidence the team gave him during his tough times helped him play with more freedom. Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Thursday announced star opener Ruturaj Gikwad as the new captain of the team. The decision marks the end of Dhoni’s long tenure at CSK, during which he led the team to five IPL titles.

Ruturaj said in a CSK video that the management was well aware of the tough phase Gaikwad was going through with COVID-19 and it affected his game as he scored only five runs in the first three innings of CSK, including two ducks. However, the team supported him and assured him that he would stay with the team, which helped turn his fortunes around. The stylish right-hander hit three consecutive fifties in the next three games and has been consistent since then.

“In 2020, I felt like even the management felt what a year I was having with COVID-19, quarantine and extended quarantine. The confidence of being at CSK for at least a year or two helped me a lot and allowed me to continue Go ahead. “Play my expressive game there,” Gaikwad said in the video.

CSK’s support paid off in a big way as Ruturaj was the Orange Cap winner with the most runs in the 2021 Championship season, scoring 635 runs at an average of 45.35 and hitting a hundred and four fifties with a strike rate of 136 .

Ruturaj, who has been playing for CSK since he started his IPL career in 2020, has scored 1,797 runs in 52 games at an average of 39.07 and 14 centuries. His best score is 101*. His run-hit rate is over 135.

Ruturaj said he sees his own journey in the young men on the team.

“My first thing is to face them. Even if they don’t play, you learn something and take it home. It’s up to you how you look at things. There are two ways to look at things, either negative or negative .In a positive way,” the batsman said.

The 27-year-old said he tries to help young people and keep them in a good frame of mind.

“I’m trying to help the younger players who can’t play and make sure they’re in a good and happy space and don’t get frustrated. I’m also reminding them of myself and what my journey has been,” the batsman concluded.
