IPL 2025: अब जागेगी ‘बैड बॉय’ की किस्मत? धोनी मेहरबान हुए तो वापसी पक्की है, ऋतुराज आईपीएल से बाहर

New Delhi. Chennai Super Kings captain Rituraj Gaikwad has been ruled out of IPL 2025. His injury has implicated Chennai (CSK) in the middle of the middle. With this, CSK has not only had to choose the new captain, but now he will have to look for a batter that can bat in the top order. The first attempt of Chennai Super Kings will be to choose an Indian batter in place of Rituraj. In this race, there may be a collision between Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal, who has been infamous as ‘Bad Boy’.

Chennai Super Kings have not started well in IPL 2025. The CSK team has lost 4 consecutive matches after winning the first match. Now CSK is at number nine in the point table and is under pressure to return. In such a situation, the injury of the captain is like a scope in the leprosy. Chennai Super Kings may not have to work much in finding the captain in place of Rituraj Gaikwad, but the search for the batter would not be easy.

Will ‘Bad Boy’ get a chance
Mahendra Singh Dhoni can now be seen captaining Chennai Super Kings in the remaining matches of IPL 2025. Hardly given this responsibility to a youth in the tournament between CSK Dhoni. CSK can also give preference to an Indian who plays in top order and has enough experience in choosing a batter instead of Rituraj. In this race, Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal’s names are seen in the race. Mayank Agarwal has no controversy, but Prithvi Shaw has been in discussion many times due to negative reasons. Perhaps that’s why he was also dropped from the Mumbai team. His image has become of ‘Bad Boy’. Now it has to be seen whether CSK goes with this ‘Bad Boy’ or gives a chance to another batter. Mumbai’s young batter Ayush Mhatre is also an option. This batter performed well in the domestic season.

Bairstow, Williamson, Smith also option
Chennai Super Kings also have the option to choose a foreign player. He currently has only 7 foreign players, while the maximum number for this can be 8. If Chennai moves to the player, then Johnny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith, Dewald Brevis can be contenders. However, on choosing a foreign player, the path of his playing XI will be difficult. Currently, Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Noor Ahmed and Mathisha Pathirana are confirmed in his playing XI. In such a situation, it will be right for CSK to choose an Indian.
