The new CSK skipper also admitted that he had a conversation with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Faf Du Pleiss on the eve of their match.
“I met Far and told him a few years ago who would’ve thought you would’ve been playing for RCB, you and me sharing the stage at the toss,” Gaikwad said.
