Ashwin recently made an interesting comment on CSK’s captaincy change.

“It was an inevitable decision. It had to be taken at some stage,” Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel. “I know MS Dhoni. He keeps the team at the forefront. He is always thinking about the welfare of the team. Because of this, two years ago, he handed over the captain’s armband to Jadeja. Now, he gives the captain’s armband to To Ruturaj.”…The decision had to be made. Who and how remain questions. “

Ashwin believes Dhoni had conveyed the message to Ruturaj about changing captaincy last year. So when the new season begins, the opening batsmen are ready to take over the game.

“Ruturaj had never thought of his role only as a batsman until yesterday. I know MS Dhoni very well. Sitting in his room, enjoying dinner with the youngsters, he must have told Ruturaj last year that if that I’m not surprised that things are like this. ‘Brother, you are responsible. You can do all these things. I will be there, don’t worry’, is what Dhoni told Ruturaj ahead of time.”

Ashwin was also full of praise for Gaikwad and felt that there are similarities between his character and Dhoni’s character, showing that both have a calm and composed nature. “I know Ruturaj and he is very calm. He is a very good person. I am very happy for him. Ashwin has backed the young opener to succeed,” the deputy said.
