IPL 2026: Aaron Finch Backs Ruturaj Gaikwad Despite Difficult CSK Season

By IANS News May 19, 2026 • 11:14 AM View: 231

Chennai Super Kings: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has thrown his support behind Ruturaj Gaikwad, insisting the Chennai Super Kings skipper should not be judged solely on one challenging IPL campaign.

Finch's comments came after CSK suffered a five-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, a result that confirmed SRH's qualification for the IPL 2026 playoffs.

"It's important not to judge a player or a captain based on just one season because T20 cricket can be extremely demanding and unpredictable," Finch said on JioHotstar.
