Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad came up with a witty reply to a fascinating query into what is lighter to handle, serving as the skipper of the most decorated side or representing the five-time champions with the willow at the crease.
Gaikwad was quick to reply with, ‘the toss’, as the CSK skipper cracked the audience present at the event ahead of the side’s home game against the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026.
Gaikwad, who has been handed the reins of the celebrated franchise, came up with a quick-witted reply, reminiscent of former skipper MSD.

Chennai Super Kings, who have
slipped to three losses in three matches in the ongoing IPL season, will face the unbeaten Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday as they look to revive their campaign.
CSK have made a disappointing start to this edition of the cash-rich T20 league, going down at home to Punjab Kings and suffering away defeats against Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Chennai have been without the services of the talismanic MS Dhoni, due to a leg injury, as the most decorated team in the history of the format look to weather an apparent transition.
Chennai are scheduled to face DC before hosting Kolkata Knight Riders on the 14th, then travelling to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on the 18th of the month, and finally flying to Wankhede to play Mumbai Indians on the 23rd of April.
