"I think he is a certainty in the team" - Sunil Gavaskar thinks Ruturaj Gaikwad should replace MS Dhoni as CSK captain soon

IPL 2023 could be MS Dhoni's last season as a player and the CSK captain may try to find his successor as the skipper of the Chennai-based franchise in this year's competition. He gave Ravindra Jadeja an opportunity last season, but the all-rounder could not handle the leadership responsibilities.

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar recently shared his views on why Ruturaj Gaikwad should take over the reins of CSK from Dhoni. In a chat with Star Sports, Gavaskar said:

"He has captained Maharashtra as well in the domestic circuit. So he has got captaincy experience. More importantly, I think he is a certainty in the team. You have got to be somebody who is a certainty, who is one of the first picks."

Gaikwad is currently at the National Cricket Academy. He will join the CSK camp next week.
