MS Dhoni back as CSK captain after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s elbow fracture ends his IPL 2025 season
Ruturaj Gaikwad is out of IPL 2025 with a hairline fracture in his elbow, and MS Dhoni returns to lead CSK. Head coach Stephen Fleming confirmed the MRI showed a radial neck fracture. CSK have just one win in five and sit ninth, making the loss of their second-highest scorer a major blow. Dhoni’s first match back as captain comes against KKR, with tough away games to follow.
