Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have confirmed that Ruturaj Gaikwad will remain their captain. The confirmation comes after CSK signed Sanju Samson from RR in exchange for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. MS Dhoni captained CSK in absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad in IPL 2025. Ruturaj could play only five IPL 2025 matches due to injury.
