During a recent IPL 2024 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), former cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu responded to Ambati Rayudu’s criticism of CSK’s new captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad. Rayudu had pointed out Gaikwad’s “lack of experience” in captaincy, especially regarding field placements during the death overs. Sidhu countered by suggesting that if MS Dhoni is credited for CSK’s victories, he should also be held accountable for their losses, emphasizing that Dhoni remains the team’s primary strategist.
The term “girgit,” which translates to “chameleon” in English, is often used metaphorically to describe someone who changes their opinions or loyalties frequently. In this context, Sidhu’s remark implies that Rayudu is inconsistent in his views or allegiances.
