Ruturaj Gaikwad feels leading a side is a complicated affair, but he will try to make it simple like his Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni does.
Gaikwad will captain an Indian side full of youngsters in the Hangzhou Asian Games with the main team busy with World Cup preparations.
"Leadership role is a very complicated thing. What Mahibhai (Dhoni) always says is to take it one game at a time, don’t worry about the future.
"Everyone creates hype and whatever it is. I am not the kind of person who tracks social media and hear things about what anyone is saying about me.
"I think this is one of the traits that I have learned at CSK. I am pretty much clear about giving my best in the field, coming back home, chilling with my friends," he told reporters after India's 33-run win over Ireland in the second T20I on Sunday.
The right-hander, who warmed the bench for the major part of the West Indies tour, is getting to open in the T20Is against Ireland. He scored a match-winning 58 off 43 balls after a sedate start.
"It is very important. It is very different when you play from the first game itself. You come in with a lot of confidence and the right mindset."
