Legendary Chennai Super Kings cricketer MS Dhoni confirmed the return of Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain of the franchise in Indian Premier League 2026. Speaking on a private event in Chennai on Saturday, August 2, Dhoni said that CSK opener will return to the side and take over his usual duties. MS Dhoni was forced to take over CSK's captaincy from Gaikwad due to the latter's injury in the IPL 2025.

The Indian captain has been in red-hot form in his debut assignment, leading the side with over 700 runs and four centuries.

The 25-year-old set a huge world record with his first run of the day as he broke Gary Sobers' long-standing world record for the most runs by a captain in an away Test series. After his dismis...
