During IPL 2026, Chennai Super Kings face scrutiny over captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's leadership and form as the team struggles to reach the playoffs. Following a defeat against SRH, former cricketer Manoj Tiwary suggested that Sanju Samson should lead CSK in the 2027 season, noting that Gaikwad has failed to fill MS Dhoni's shoes. Gaikwad has scored only 321 runs in 13 matches this season at a low strike rate, while Samson has impressed with 477 runs. The management is expected to make a major decision regarding captaincy before the next mega auction. https://tamil.news18.com/sports/ipl-ipl-2026-csks-losing-streak-continues-captain-ruturaj-gaikwad-under-severe-pressure-details-here-abm-ws-l-2118281.html #creator program
