It is worth noting that Gaikwad made his debut for Super Kings in 2020. He featured in six matches and impressed the critics. His breakout year was 2021 when he amassed 635 runs and averaged 45.35.
In 2022, CSK retained Gaikwad for 6 crores. In 2024, MS Dhoni passed on the baton to Gaikwad and the latter became the new Super Kings' captain. Gaiwkad failed to impress in his maiden season as CSK skipper.
