Ruturaj Gaikwad: Before IPL 2025, some important changes are going to be seen in all the franchises. Actually, the mega auction is the big reason behind this. At the end of this year, bids are going to be placed on many great players from India and abroad. Also, trading of players between teams is also guaranteed.

If we talk about Chennai Super Kings, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who captained this team last year, is going to be removed from this post. If sources are to be believed, another veteran cricketer is going to become the new captain of CSK. Let us know the whole thing in detail in this article.

Ruturaj Gaikwad got the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings last year. Five-time champion captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) left this post. However, Gaikwad was not very successful as a captain.

In fact, during IPL 2024, CSK could not even qualify for the playoffs. Under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, this team finished fifth in the points table. Chennai could win only 7 matches out of 14 matches. In such a situation, in the next season, the team management can relieve the 27-year-old player from the responsibility of captaincy, so that he can focus on his batting.

A user named Anish CSK shared a post on the social media platform Twitter. According to this, Chennai Super Kings is going to get a new captain in IPL 2025. World's number one fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is going to join this team.

It is worth noting that Bumrah's relationship with Mumbai Indians was not good last season. He was very unhappy due to Hardik Pandya getting the captaincy. In such a situation, Jaspreet can be traded to CSK during the next edition. Also, on the basis of his experience, the owners of Chennai can also appoint him as the next captain.
