Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar believes Ravindra Jadeja can be able to take over the mantle of Chennai Super Kings’ captaincy if the enduring Mahendra Singh Dhoni decides to take a recreation or two off within the upcoming IPL.
Dhoni, who has been the CSK captain for the reason that league’s inception in 2008, could possibly be taking part in in his final IPL this season. He has already retired from worldwide cricket.
“The manner Ravindra Jadeja has matured as a participant over the previous couple of years, the best way he’s making the adjustment so far as his recreation is anxious and the best way he reads match conditions has been completely improbable.
“If in the odd game MS Dhoni decides to take a break, I won’t be surprised if the mantle of captaincy will be handed over to Jadeja,” Gavaskar mentioned throughout a Gameplan episode aired on Star Sports, the official broadcaster of IPL.
Defending champions CSK will open their marketing campaign in opposition to final version’s runner-up facet Kolkata Knight Riders on the Wankhede Stadium right here on Saturday.
Gavaskar handpicked final IPL’s main run scorer, Ruturaj Gaikwad to play a key function in CSK’s title defence.
“Ruturaj Gaikwad is one other participant who has little or no areas to enhance. There is nothing actually required so far as Gaikwad’s enchancment is anxious. He has obtained all of the photographs within the guide, however probably the most spectacular side is his shot choice,” he mentioned.
“Whatever shot he performs, he would not get cowed down. He just isn’t afraid to play the lofted shot when required and his shot choice has been excellent within the IPL.
“So, there’s little or no that Ruturaj Gaikwad must do. All he must do is carry on scoring runs just like final season.”
