Dhoni indicated during a private ceremony in Chennai that Chennai’s team will retain Gaikwad in the team. He said, ‘We were a little worried about our batting order, but I think now our batting order is very systematic. Rituraj will return. He was hurt. If he makes a comeback, now we will be very organized.
Dhoni is happy with Gaikwad’s return to CSK, but said that the franchise will try to further strengthen the team through a small auction to the end of this year. He said, ‘I would not say that we (in IPL 2025) lax. There were some shortcomings that we needed to overcome. A small auction is going to be held in December. We will try to remove those shortcomings.
Gaikwad has a match against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on April 8 for CSK. Dhoni admitted that the performance of Super Kings in the last two seasons has been much weaker than expected. He said that it is necessary for the team to identify those shortcomings. This 44 -year -old player said, ‘Yes, the last few years have not been good for us. We have not been able to perform as expected. But it is important that you learn. Yes, your session was bad. But what was the mistake? And the same question was in front of us last year.
