IPL 2025 mein Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ka start kuch khaas nahi raha – 4 matches mein 3 haar. Is tough phase mein captain Ruturaj Gaikwad ke kuch on-field decisions par log ungli utha rahe hain. Lekin ex-CSK superstar Shane Watson ka kehna hai ki Ruturaj ko thoda waqt dena chahiye.
Watson ne IndiaToday.in ke ek interview mein kaha ki Ruturaj abhi apne leadership journey ke initial phase mein hai, aur woh gradually seekh raha hai kaise Stephen Fleming aur MS Dhoni jaise dino ke guidance ka best use kare.
“Dekho, Ruturaj abhi bhi captaincy mein relatively young hai. Usne last season se kaafi kuch seekha hoga. Uske paas do legendary minds hain – Stephen Fleming, ek genius tactician, aur MS Dhoni, jisko duniya ka best captain maana jata hai. Ye dono usko guide kar rahe hain.”
“Learning environment Ruturaj ke liye perfect hai. Lekin jab tak aap khud field mein nahi hote, tab tak asli challenges ka pata nahi chalta. Usko time chahiye apne style ko develop karne ke liye, aur MS aur Fleming ki advice ko effectively apply karne ke liye.”
“Woh har match ke saath better ho raha hai. Uska learning attitude hi uski strength hai. Experience ke saath woh aur mature captain banega – isme koi doubt nahi.”
CSK ke spin attack ko manage karne mein Ruturaj thoda struggle kar raha hai. Har match mein unke 3 ace spinners poore 20 overs bowl nahi kar paa rahe. Ye criticism bhi uske upar aa raha hai, especially jab Chennai jaise spin-friendly pitch par aisa ho.
Lekin Watson ka kehna hai ki yeh decisions sirf Ruturaj ke nahi hote – CSK ka leadership group milke plan banata hai.
“Spin ka use especially Chennai mein tricky hota hai jab ball turn kar raha ho. Lekin captain solo decision nahi leta. Game se pehle kaafi planning hoti hai, do strategic timeouts hote hain, aur poori team input deti hai.”
“Final call Ruturaj ki hoti hai, lekin woh apne around ke logon se constant feedback le raha hai. MS aur Fleming jaise log jab aapke sath hon, toh unka influence naturally decisions mein dikhta hai.”
Toh doston, Watson ki maano toh Ruturaj abhi seekh raha hai – aur uske mentors best in the game hain. Thoda patience rakho, kyunki yeh ladka future mein CSK ko naye heights pe le ja sakta hai!
