In the Indian Premier League 2025, the team's command has once again come into the hands of Mahendra Singh Dhoni after the injury of Chennai Super Kings captain Rituraj Gaikwad. Opener Prithvi Shaw can now get a chance to play for CSK when it is out of Gaikwad. Prithvi Shaw did not find any buyer in the IPL 2025 mega auction, but now he can join CSK instead of Gaikwad. The 28 -year -old right -handed batsman suffered an injury during the match played against Rajasthan Royals played in Guwahati on 30 March.

Prithvi Shaw has played for Delhi Capitals

This 25 -year -old right -handed opener of Mumbai has played for Delhi Capitals from IPL 2018 to 2024.

It is being hoped that this season he will give CSK a bang and play an important role in returning the team to the victory. Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, CSK retained Rituraj Gaikwad for Rs 18 crore. In the five matches played this season, he scored 122 runs with the help of two half -centuries. However, under his leadership, the team could win only one of the five matches.

Sometimes Sachin used to compare Tendulkar
