'MS Dhoni's style is different, I will try to show my own leadership', Ruturaj Gaikwad gave a big statement

Ruturaj Gaikwad learned a lot from MS Dhoni, but he is preparing to captain the Indian men's cricket team, which is going to participate in the Asian Games for the first time, in his own way. The Indian team will start its campaign in the Asian Games 2023 with the quarter-final match against Nepal on Tuesday.

India is considered a strong contender for the gold medal. Recently, the Indian women's cricket team won the gold medal by defeating Sri Lanka in the final. The Indian men's cricket team led by Gaikwad will also try to win gold. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who progressed under Dhoni, said that he would like to give players the freedom to play freely.

Ruturaj Gaikwad said- I got to learn a lot from MS Dhoni, but every batsman's style is different. Dhoni's style, his personality are a little different from mine. I will try to show my leadership. Yes, I will definitely pay attention to the way Dhoni handles the situation or how he handles the players during the match. Some things will be Dhoni's, but I will do them in my own way. I want players to express themselves on the field.

The Indian coach said- Indian team coach VVS Laxman said that the experience of playing in China will be unique.
There will be a different atmosphere here. We had never thought that we would ever come to China and play cricket. This is a great opportunity for the entire team. Taking part in the Asian Games is a big thing and it is a matter of pride for all the players. I am focused on this tournament.

Our target is to win a gold medal in Asian Games. In cricket, we have the World Cup, IPL, and domestic tournaments. We are used to that kind of environment. But after coming here to the village, we came to know about the athletes. The story of his struggle came to light. The Indian team will try to do its best in every match with the intention of winning the gold medal while maintaining full enthusiasm.
