“Gutted to be missing…”: Ruturaj Gaikwad speaks out after being ruled out of IPL
Ruturaj Gaikwad has broken his silence after being ruled out of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League due to an elbow injury. The injury, which he picked up during CSK's clash against Rajasthan Royals on March 30, has brought a sad end to his IPL campaign. Though he participated in the next two games in spite of the injury, it finally put him on the sidelines. In his absence, legendary MS Dhoni will take the reins for the rest of the tournament. Speaking on his absence, Gaikwad said he was gutted not to be part of the remainder of the tournament.
"Hello everyone, Ruturaj this side. Really gutted to be missing future part of the IPL due to an unfortunate elbow injury. But, thank you for your support until now. Yes, we have been struggling a while, you know now that a young wicketkeeper leading the team, hopefully, things will change. I am gonna be there with the team, really support them," Ruturaj said in a video released by CSK.
"Definitely would have loved to take this team out of this situation, but you know some things are just not controllable. As I said, definitely looking forward to supporting the team from the dug-out and hopefully, we have a great season ahead. Thank you," he added.
Dhoni, who captained CSK between 2008 and 2024, will look to pull the team out of huge trouble as they are currently languishing at the bottom in the points table, with one win in five games.
