CHENNAI, India (AP) — Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is out for the rest of the Indian Premier League with an elbow injury and veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni will now lead the side.
"We got an X-ray, which was inconclusive, and we had an MRI, which revealed a fracture in his elbow,” coach Stephen Fleming said on Thursday.
Gaikwad suffered the injury during the game against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on March 30, when he was struck on his unprotected elbow by fast bowler Tushar Deshpande.
Gaikwad went on to score 63 but then made only five and one against Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.
