Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad

Whether this secures his long-term spot or not, Ruturaj Gaikwad has ensured he cannot be ignored.

Ruturaj Gaikwad made the most of a rare opportunity in the ODI team because of injuries to designated captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, who were ruled out of the series.

The best part about Gaikwad's knock was the acceleration. His 50 came of 51 balls but thereafter the next 55 came of just 30 or so balls.

Dewald Brevis, standing few yards inside the circle, plunged to his right to pull off a stunning one-handed catch at backward point.

The moment speaks about the bond Virat Kohli shares with MS Dhoni.

KL Rahul will lead India in the ODI series, which will take place from November 30 to December 6.

The fresh development comes at a perfect time for Prithvi Shaw as we head towards the mini auction for IPL 2026.

Shubman Gill is doubtful for the second Test, for he needs at least four-five days to recover fully.

While Prithvi Shaw's efforts was commendable, he was not considered for Player of the Match, which was instead presented to Maharashtra batter Ruturaj Gaikwad.

The Australian A squad will visit India next week to play three one-day matches and two four-day red-ball matches.

The right-hander carried that confidence into this match, displaying exquisite timing and footwork to resist the Central bowlers.

Gaikwad, who featured in the warm-up matches between India A and India ahead of the national team’s Test series in England, will also be keen to make his mark.

Gaikwad was due to debut at North Marine Road on Tuesday against the reigning champions and remain with Yorkshire until the end of the season.

Yorkshire are currently placed second last in the 10-team Division One points table with one win, four defeats and two drawn games so far.

IPL 2025: CSK kicked off Season 18 with a win against Mumbai Indians in the 'IPL El Clasico' on Sunday (March 23).

CSK's win over MI has now been marred in controversy as a video of Khaleel Ahmed and Ruturaj Gaikwad exchanging stuff has gone viral on social media.

Ruturaj Gaikwad's career of late appears to have hit a road bump. He needs a big IPL this year. Edging closer to thirty, the time has come for him to move to the next level.

Since his breakout debut series in Australia in 2020/21, Gill’s form outside Asia has been disappointing.

While fans are yet to see the fun side of Ruturaj Gaikwad on the field, but he surely delivered a classic while attending the INFYusion event hosted by Infosys in Bengaluru.

The recent victory over Mumbai Indians was particularly significant as it marked CSK's first win away from home this season. As CSK continues their campaign in IPL 2024, the support from fans and these moments of unity are crucial.
