Ambati Rayudu, a former batter for both the Indian and Super Kings teams, expressed his excitement about seeing how young captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will respond under duress in CSK’s crucial IPL 2024 match against RCB in Bengaluru on Saturday. This Saturday’s match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium is probably a virtual elimination match, even though the playoff race is getting closer by the minute. 

With 14 points from 13 games, CSK is ranked third in the points table, while RCB has 12 points from the same number of games. With 12 points from 12 games, the SunRisers are probably going to lock up the third playoff berth, with the fourth slot still up for grabs in the next two league match days.
Significantly, Rajasthan advanced to the playoffs after KKR, after Delhi defeated LSG by 19 runs in New Delhi on Tuesday. Although Delhi’s victory kept them in the hunt, it also destroyed LSG’s chances of placing in the top four for a record-tying third year.

“May 18 is something that everyone in the nation is anticipating.” I’m the same way. All I want is for CSK to actually contend with a new captain. They have played these crucial games under MS Dhoni’s leadership all along.
Rayudu said in his interaction with Star Sports, “It will be interesting to see Ruturaj lead a team into a crunch situation without much support from MS Dhoni.”

In the game that needs to be won, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has scored 583 runs in 13 games, will be put under pressure. A do-or-die match will be a tough test for the young player, who is trying to live up to expectations after taking over as captain from one of the greatest leaders in sports history, even though MS Dhoni will be there behind the stumps.
