First Time In 17 Years! Ruturaj Gaikwad Breaks MS Dhoni's Record For Major Feat As CSK Captain

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube absolutely owned the Lucknow Super Giants bowlers on Tuesday to take their team to a score of 210/4 in 20 overs. Gaikwad slammed an unbeaten ton while Shivam Dube struck a quick-fore 66 as CSK made merry at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. To add to the CSK fans' joy, MS Dhoni came out to bat too and finished off in style by hitting a boundary. Gaikwad, who took over the CSK captaincy from Dhoni this season, stayed unbeaten on 108*.

This is the first time a CSK captain has struck a century in the IPL. This is also the highest score by a CSK captain in the IPL. MS Dhoni's highest in the IPL is 84*. However, one needs to keep in mind that Gaikwad is an opener while Dhoni batter in the middle order and, hence, always had lesser number of balls.
