R Ashwin Stands Up for Ruturaj Gaikwad After RR Collapse

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s dismissal might have sparked a Twitter storm, but R Ashwin isn’t having any of it. After CSK’s early collapse against Rajasthan Royals, Ashwin stepped up to defend his skipper, suggesting that Gaikwad’s situation was a genuine catch-22. You either go big or go home, right? Unfortunately, CSK chose the latter this time.

The match was practically over once the top three fell during the powerplay, leaving CSK scrambling. Ashwin pointed out that the game turned on that moment, with the Royals capitalising on CSK's fragile start. It's a harsh reality when your batting order crumbles under the pressure, and CSK’s fans are feeling that heartache.

With the IPL heat cranking up, Gaikwad needs to find his form fast. Ashwin’s support is commendable, but can it translate into runs? CSK fans will be hoping for a turnaround in the next match, or it could get spicy in the dressing room.

Stay tuned as CSK looks to bounce back and silence the critics in their next outing!
