The fact that India's backup batsmen, who can barely crack their first XI, are yards better than our national batsmen is incredible

Very sad for him. He is a class-act and can be the next big thing in Indian cricket.

It's a new IPL, and Chennai Super Kings have a fresh captain in Ruturaj Gaikwad, he said at the toss of the IPL 2024 opener vs RCB:
"Feel privileged. But I want to try and be in my shoes, not fill anybody's shoes. (On captaincy) I got to know last week, but Mahi bhai hinted at it last year."

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opener and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad completed 2,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday, becoming only the fourth player from his franchise to do so. The 27-year-old accomplished this milestone against arch-rivals the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
He is the fourth-highest run-getter in the IPL for CSK behind Faf Du Plessis (2,721 runs in 92 matches), MS Dhoni (4,547 runs in 226 matches) and Suresh Raina (4,687 runs in 176 matches).

I think he deserved the century. What an innings, though, with a strike rate of 181.48. Probably his first impactful innings so far in IPL 2024.

While speaking to a local media outlet, Robin Uthappa has weighed in on the ongoing debate, stating:
“Both Ruturaj and Shubman Gill are terrific batters who have impressed everyone eith their game. While Ruturaj may be slightly more consistent statistically, Shubman Gill offers valuable versatility, blending touch and power in his game. Ultimately, it’s a tough choice between the two, as they are both undeniably talented players who could significantly benefit the team.”

Ruturaj Gaikwad Signs for Yorkshire
The Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce the overseas signing of Ruturaj Gaikwad.
The 28-year-old Indian batter will join up with the Yorkshire squad ahead of the Rothesay County Championship game against Surrey at Scarborough in July and will remain with the White Rose until the end of the season.
Gaikwad, who was in the India A squad for their current tour of England, will also be available for selection in the Metro Bank One Day Cup.
Captain of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy, the Pune-native is a highly accomplished batter with six international ODI caps alongside his 23 appearances in IT20’s.
The right-hander can bat anywhere in the top 4 and has shown versatility when required to step up and open the batting for India.
Gaikwad said, “I’m excited to be joining up with Yorkshire for the rest of the English domestic season. It has always been a goal of mine to experience cricket in this country and there is no bigger Club in England than Yorkshire.
“I know how important it is that I hit the ground running at what will be a crucial part of the season. We have some vital games in the County Championship and the One Day Cup is a great opportunity to win some silverware.”
Head Coach Anthony McGrath said: “I’m extremely pleased to see Ruturaj sign with us for the second half of the season. He is a very accomplished cricketer with a natural all-round game that is well suited to the cricket we want to play.
“Ruturaj will give us some extra solidity in our batting lineup whilst having that ability to score quick runs when required. He’s an exciting talent and one I know is highly rated across the game.”
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket added; “Ruturaj has a proven record in all formats and is a multi-faceted cricketer that will strengthen us greatly in the second half of the season.
“Everyone at Yorkshire CCC is excited by Ruturaj’s signing and we look forward to welcoming him in July.”

Gaikwad reflects on his role after maiden ton in Raipur
The batter also spoke on his 195-run stand with Kohli and on his batting position post the second ODI.
India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad opened up on his mammoth partnership with veteran Virat Kohli in the second ODI against South Africa, calling the senior batter’s form “unbelievable” as the pair kept India in the contest in Raipur.
“The chat in between was very clear. We had set 5-10 runs an over as target and how to maneuver the gaps, how to get those boundaries or how we can rotate strike,” Gaikwad said after the game.
“I think we had really good running between the wickets as well.
“You dream of these kind of moments, to be able to have that kind of partnership. I really enjoyed it a lot,” he added.
Gaikwad notched up a magnificent knock of 105 runs off 83 deliveries, which was also his maiden ODI century.
Shifting down to No.4 this series, Gaikwad revealed the conversation with the team management with respect to his role going forward in the ODI setup.
“They (the management) just told me you’ll be batting at four this series and to just enjoy the game.
“I think it is a privilege to have that kind of confidence from the management towards an opener who can bat at number four as well,” he added.
Gaikwad also spoke about his approach to batting out of position and adapting his method to the middle-order role.
“Even when I was opening the innings, I always made sure that whenever I am set I am able to bat till the 45th over and capitalize after that.
“I think I knew how to play in between 11 to 40 overs, to rotate strike and what are the boundary options. I was pretty much confident on how I can go through.
“It was just a matter of how I can play my first 10-15 balls and after that the process remains the same.
“I have been working very hard, so wanted to make sure that whenever I am set I will make it a big one,” he added.
Despite two significant centuries from Gaikwad and Kohli, South Africa chased down the target of 358 to level the series 1-1.
The teams now move to Visakhapatnam for the series decider on December 6.
