R Ashwin's Candid Take On CSK: 'If I Were Ruturaj Gaikwad, Wouldn't Be Too Fussed'

Ashwin backs CSK captain Gaikwad to regain form in IPL 2026, urges minor technical tweaks, also says KKR need fresh energy from bench players to revive poor season

Former Chennai Super Kings spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has backed skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, expressing confidence that the opener will soon rediscover his batting rhythm in IPL 2026, after leading the side to a second consecutive win on Tuesday against Kolkata Knight Riders.

With Gaikwad enduring a lean run this season, Ashwin suggested that recent victories as captain could help ease the pressure and allow him to settle into the tournament.
