IPL 2021: How MS Dhoni applied psychology to assess Ruturaj's mentality ahead of KKR game

IPL 2021, KKR vs CSK: MS Dhoni revealed on Wednesday that he had asked Ruturaj Gaikwad a simple question to assess his mentality in the lead up to their game against Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai

Chennai Super Kings are known for backing their players to the title. At CSK, most players are assured of a long rope that helps them hit peak form. On Wednesday, CSK reaped the rewards for showing faith in young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad who did not have the ideal start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season. Ruturaj Gaikwad was retained by CSK for IPL 2021 after the young Maharashtra opener hit as many as 3 fifties towards the end of their floundering campaign in the UAE last year. As expected, Ruturaj partnered with Faf du Plessis in the new season but the opener got scores of 5, 5, and 10 as he struggled to get going. KKR vs CSK, IPL 2021: Highlights | Report
