Responding to this, Karthik said that the role of captaincy is now from Ruturaj Gaikwad and he should be given time to make the team his own and get addicted to the captaincy. He said, “I don’t think he will take away the captaincy from Ruturaj Gaikwad and give it to Dhoni.”

If you are not able to leave then it should be left

He added, “He is trying but, coach Flaming is also saying that he cannot run more than 10 overs but I do not understand if you can field for 20 overs, keep up, where you have to sit, you have to dive, then you do not feel in your knees. But when you are sent to bat, where people are sent to bat, then you should take 10 overs. And if it is not happening now, leave it. “
