The CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the IPL 2025 due to an Elbow injury fracture and MS Dhoni will be leading the side for the remaining games of the season.

Despite CSK being set with a major setback fans are waiting for the 43-year-old to lead the side in the Indian Premier League.

On the eve of the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, CSK coach Stephen Fleming confirmed that Gaikwad has a fracture on his left elbow and cannot play further in the 18th season.

“Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out the IPL due to a fracture on his elbow. MS Dhoni to captain in the remaining games” told Stephen Fleming to reporters.

“He got hit in Guwahati. He’s been operating with an amount of pain. We got an X-ray, which was inconclusive, and we had an MRI, which revealed a fracture in his elbow, in the radial neck.

“We are disappointed and feel for him. We appreciate the efforts that he has made in terms of trying to play, but unfortunately, he will be out of the tournament.

“As far as replacements go we have few options in the Squad. We haven’t zeroed in on anyone. Dhoni was ready to take over. He understood where it was coming from,” Fleming added.

Despite having solid start with a win against Mumbai Indians, they suffered four consecutive loses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings and secured 9th position in the IPL 2025 points table.

However, the Chennai based franchise will be looking to return to the winning ways during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders played on April 11 at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
