He has taken over from a god: Michael Vaughan on Ruturaj Gaikwad taking over CSK’s captaincy
Former England captain Michael Vaughan said that Gaikw a d hasn’t looked completely in control with the change of captaincy yet. Vaughan told Cricbuzz, “He (Gaikwad) has taken over from a God. This situation is like Sir Alex Ferguson is still in the dressing room when the new manager comes in. MS Dhoni is still there. It must be so hard. It is difficult to captain MS but I think it is MS who took that decision to step aside.”
Notably, under Gaikwad’s captaincy, CSK have won three games and lost two games in the 2024 season of the tournament thus far.
