New Delhi [India], Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey said that it was a big challenge for Ruturaj Gaikwad to captain CSK, following veteran wicketkeeper and former captain MS Dhoni in the team, but the Australian believes That's what the opener did. Good work. Dhoni surprised many, including Hussey, by handing over the leadership to Rutura Gaikwad at the start of the season. However, the transfer is simple as Gaikwad was already getting ready for the position and Dhoni was also there to help him. “MS had kind of announced that he would not be attending the pre-tournament captains' meeting.And we're like, 'Oh, no. What is happening? He said that Ruturaj is going to become the captain from now on. So it was a bit of a shock to be acting with him, but it's been managed really well,'' Hussey said on ESPN's Around the Wicket show. “I know Stephen Fleming [head coach] was working closely with Ruturaj before the tournament. In fact, he has been grooming him for the last few years.We've known for some time whether he was the right person to take over when MS decided to step down." "MS still wanted to be there when the new captain took over, to help him along the way An effort can be made to do so and they can be given some guidance. So it's working really well. And obviously, Stephen Fleming is a great role model for him." He [Gaikwad too.So it's been really quite smooth. Hussey also said that Gaikwad is really calm on the field and believes that the opener will get better with time and CSK will stick around around him. CSK has won seven of its matches. The first thirteen games under Gaikwad now place the side third in the points table, and a win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday will seal a playoff spot as Gaikwad is now second in the league in run-gainers, with 583 runs and a strike of 141.50. With Rhett "He's a great guy, Ruturaj, very cool. He's a good thinker of the game. I believe it was always going to be a big challenge for him, you know, you can't handle someone like MS Dhoni." How to follow - this was going to be hard.But he has done a great job. He has been really calm and collected on the field. I think the more he does that and the more we support him, the better he'll get. Hussey said, "From my point of view, the good thing is that it has not affected his batting. He has done well." Very good right off the bat, so it's been really good so far."
