IPL Match Today, CSK vs PBKS Predicted Playing 11 Live Updates: MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings host Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings

CSK vs PBKS LIVE Score, IPL 2025: 'Ruturaj’s appointment as CSK captain set me on cloud 9,' says childhood coach

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s childhood coach Mohan Jadhav was confident that his ward would one day lead Chennai Super Kings, but he never thought it would happen so soon.

In the recent episode of the House of Glory podcast, an initiative by Gagan Narang Sports Foundation, Ruturaj’s coach Jadhav engaged in an interesting conversation, discussing everything from Gaikwad’s early cricket days to his selection in Team India.

Expressing his feelings about Gaikwad being handed the reins of CSK, Jadhav said, “I was definitely expecting it, but not this early because there were equally talented people already in line. But as and when CSK announced this decision, it set me on cloud nine. We felt like we are finally achieving our aims.”

“During his last year as his coach, I gave him the captaincy for the first time. His attitude at that time was astoundingly mature. Reflecting on that, when I see him today as CSK’s captain, it really does not astonish me. He was meant for it. And I’m sure CSK was on the lookout for someone like him only,” he added.
