Ruturaj Gaikwad: CSK's Star Player Eyes Comeback in IPL 2024

After a successful 2023, Gaikwad is set to play a crucial role in CSK's campaign to retain their IPL title.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Chennai Super Kings' star player, celebrates his 27th birthday and is expected to make a comeback in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) after a finger injury.
Gaikwad, who started his IPL journey in 2019, has become one of CSK's most important players, winning the IPL twice, in 2021 and 2023.
He is likely to be groomed for the captaincy role in the near future, having gained some leadership experience by captaining India to the gold medal in the 2023 Asian Games.
Gaikwad had a significant 2023, scoring runs across all formats, including for the national side, and is in consideration for the 2024 T20 World Cup squad.
His contributions at the top of the order and the chemistry he shares with Devon Conway as an opening pair, will be crucial if CSK wish to retain their IPL title.
