Ruturaj Gikwad shines against Himachal Pradesh
Gaikwad is undoubtedly one of the most promising batsmen in world cricket, but he has been quite unfortunate and currently not with Team India’s setup.
He started his journey in the Buchi Babu Invitational tournament running on a bad note, as he recorded scores of 1 and 11 in the first round against Chhattisgarh.
Then, Gikwad left the second match of Maharashtra against TNCA President K XI, which began on 26 August before returning to XI for the third round stability against Himachal Pradesh.
Batting for the first time in the match, Maharashtra lost Siddhesh Veer for 22, but Arshin Kulkarni joined the army with Ruturaj Gikwad and put the team out of trouble.
The two made a 220 -run stand, which brought back the speed towards Maharashtra, and the two batsmen killed the brilliant centuries. Ruturaj Gikwad reached his centenary off 122 balls and completed his innings with a score of 133 runs in 144 delivery.
Gaikwad’s innings was studded with 10 fours and 4 sixes – all came in single over. The video of four incredible sixes of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper went viral on social media.
