At the pre-game news conference for Sunday, March 23’s match between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), captain Ruturaj Gaikwad discussed MS Dhoni. During the training camps and tournament preparations, the young captain talked about how the previous five-time IPL champion has been staying in shape.
Even though he may no longer be captaining the team, MS Dhoni appears to have a lot of faith in Gaikwad, and the 28-year-old top batsman has expressed a great deal of respect for him.
Gaikwad freely admitted that even if Dhoni’s training may be a little limited, he hasn’t appeared out of shape since the first day of training while discussing his fitness standards. Gaikwad also cited Sachin Tendulkar, who is 51 years old and is actively involved in former cricketers’ competitions.
“I believe that his training is largely restricted to his goals. or whatever his IPL function would be. It’s quite straightforward, centred on hitting as many sixes as you can, getting the swing right, and staying in top form,” Gaikwad stated.
That’s what I believe he was initially attempting to do. Then, even on the first day, I didn’t believe he was in bad shape. Given that he has done it for so long, I believe it is clear that he is unique. As you can see, even at 50 years old, Sachin Tendulkar is still batting at his peak [51]. “There are still a lot of years to go,” Gaikwad continued.
Regarding the MI vs. CSK game, it will take place in the Chepauk (M. A. Chidambaram Stadium). The rivals, who are vying for a record-breaking sixth crown this season, will face off in their 38th meeting.
