CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad takes MS Dhoni’s advice, practice coin flip & loses 10 on trot

CSK's fresh skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is doing an amazing job in IPL 2024 due to his captaincy skills. CSK is now on the verge of qualifying for the IPL playoffs in 2024. However, there is one duty where he is consistently failing and that is toss. With a 1-8 record, Gaikwad has the worst toss win percentage this season

CSK’s new captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, is performing exceptionally well this season. Executing his duties successfully, his captaincy is the main reason CSK is on the verge of qualifying for the IPL playoffs in 2024, currently holding the 4th spot with 5 wins and 4 losses. However, there is one duty where he consistently failing to date, and that is the toss. It seems like he is not as lucky as CSK’s former skipper, MS Dhoni, was at the toss.

When Dhoni was captain of the Chennai Super Kings, he held the record for the highest toss-winning percentage of 60.38%. In 212 matches as IPL captain, he won 128 and lost just 82, which is impressive. Whereas the fresh captain of CSK is struggling in the coin game in IPL 2024, he has lost eight tosses and won just one.

Will Dhoni mantra help Gaikwad in upcoming IPL matches?

In a recent interview with Star Sports, Gaikwad said, “Dhoni bhai told me, ‘You can’t control the toss, but you have to win it, so practice it.’ Since then, we have been practicing coin tosses in the dugout.” Although it seems that MS’s advice hasn’t yet made a big impact on Gaikwad’s toss performance, it will be interesting to see if he improves his toss record in the upcoming crucial matches.
