Ruturaj Gaikwad under fire after RR loss as Tiwary criticizes his captaincy and comments

Criticism Mounts on CSK Skipper

Ruturaj Gaikwad under fire after RR loss as former India batter Manoj Tiwary lashed out at the Chennai Super Kings captain for not admitting to his team’s recurring mistakes. Tiwary believes Gaikwad is under pressure and is unable to speak freely. This harsh review came after CSK’s narrow six-run defeat against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati.

In back-to-back matches, CSK has slipped up—first against RCB and now against Rajasthan Royals. Despite a late surge from MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, they couldn’t chase down 183. Sandeep Sharma’s tight final over sealed the win for Rajasthan.

Tiwary Slams Gaikwad’s Comments

Tiwary didn’t hold back. He called out Gaikwad’s post-match comments, particularly one after the RCB loss where Gaikwad said he was happy the team lost by “just 50 runs.”

“I couldn’t digest those statements,” Tiwary said. “He’s being too adamant and isn’t accepting that mistakes are happening.”

Gaikwad Feeling the Heat?

Currently batting at No.3, Gaikwad defended his position by saying he walks in early anyway, so the batting order doesn’t matter. However, Tiwary hinted that Gaikwad might be silencing his real thoughts under pressure. “He probably wants to speak his mind but can’t,” Tiwary said. “Maybe he’s trying to protect the team because of his captaincy.”

What’s Next for CSK?

With two straight losses, CSK has dropped to the 7th spot on the points table. Their next challenge? A must-win clash against Delhi Capitals on Saturday, April 5.
