Watch: Ruturaj Gaikwad does a Rohit Sharma at toss, momentarily forgets Devon Conway’s replacement’s name

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was at his hilarious best at the toss of the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match between the two teams is taking place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday (5th April).

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad didn't have the start he would've wanted to the game as he lost the toss. The home side was asked to field first and when he was asked about his team's tactics and changes, he came up with the hilarious antic, emulating Rohit Sharma.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, while announcing the team changes, forgot the name of Devon Conway's replacement. The Chennai Super Kings skipper looked confused before he finally remembered that the Kiwi player replaced Jamie Overton in the team.

Fielding is something which we can improve day by day - Ruturaj Gaikwad

Speaking at the toss, Ruturaj Gaikwad expressed his desire to bat and also revealed the conversation inside the camp. He openly mentioned that they needed to improve their fielding, and he wanted everyone to be proactive. He said:

We were looking to bat first as well. The good wicket looks a bit dry. It's a bit cloudy, I don't think it'll change too much. You always want momentum in T20 cricket, we haven't got it in the last two games. Last game was an improved performance in terms of batting and bowling. The fielding wasn't up to the mark. Everyone is eager to have a massive improvement. Overall, the chat has been positive.

"Batting and bowling, you'll have an off day in a tournament like IPL. Fielding is something which we can improve day by day. We may not be the greatest fielding side, but we want to be proactive, we want to save those 10-15 runs so that it'll be easier to chase. Elbow is good. Conway comes in for Jamie Overton. Mukesh comes in from Tripathi.".

Ruturaj Gaikwad has come under massive scanner as captain in the IPL

Ruturaj Gaikwad has come under massive scanner as captain in the IPL. This is because Chennai Super Kings is having a tough time in the league and are currently reeling at the bottom half of the table as they have managed just one win in the league so far.

Chennai Super Kings won their first game of the IPL as they beat Mumbai Indians, and then after that, have looked horrible. They suffered defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the first time at home in 18 years and then had the same fate against Rajasthan Royals.

Chennai Super Kings faced a poor loss to Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati by 6 runs. In the ongoing game, they would be keen to make a strong comeback and get important two points.
