Ruturaj Gaikwad's captaincy is under intense scrutiny after Chennai Super Kings' fourth defeat in IPL 2026. The five-time champions are stumbling, and former players are not holding back. One ex-star even said, "Captaincy beyond my understanding," highlighting the frustration among fans and pundits alike.

CSK's batting line-up has struggled, and Gaikwad's decisions have been questioned. With the playoffs looming, the pressure is on the young skipper to turn things around. Can he rally his troops and rediscover the winning formula, or will CSK’s season continue to nosedive?

As the IPL heats up, all eyes will be on Gaikwad in the next match. Will he rise to the occasion or fall further under the weight of expectation?
