Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming revealed that appointing opener Ruturaj Gaikwad as CSK skipper is a long-term investment.

“So far, it’s worked well. The transition has been really smooth. He’s judged by wins but we judge it differently. His leadership around the team is top-class. I would imagine it would be hopefully for many years like the last captain,” Fleming said on the eve of CSK’s game against Mumbai Indians on Saturday. 
  
Under Gaikwad’s captaincy, the five-time winners and defending champions CSK have won three of their five games.
