Ruturaj Gaikwad, the scintillating right-handed batter has taken Vijay Hazare Trophy by storm. The batter has struck 7 centuries in the tournament and has looked quite unstoppable. It seems as if he has a clear game plan against the opposition team.

He has taken Maharashtra to their maiden Vijay Hazare Final. The 25-year-old batter is making sure that the selectors don’t ignore him for the upcoming Series against Sri Lanka & New Zealand. The batter has looked in sublime touch and has etched his name in the records of List A by smashing 43 runs in a single over.

Ruturaj Gaikwad on Shivam Singh

Ruturaj Gaikwad was seen interacting with Sportstar and was asked about Shiva Singh who got hit for 7 sixes. “He must have been understandably dejected but all I would like to remind him is to remember Stuart Broad went for six sixes in an over (in the 2007 World Twenty20) and has had an outstanding career, so there’s a lesson in it for every bowler.” said Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Conundrum for Management

With the ODI World Cup aligned next year, the selectors and management has got happy headaches. The team has a back-up opener present in the form of KL Rahul and it looks unlikely that Ruturaj Gaikwad will make the cut for the marquee event.  Ruturaj would be eyeing to win the championship for Maharashtra as that can make a huge difference in getting chances for India.

The batter looks a bit scratchy against the new ball as this weakness has landed him into trouble in the International circuit. He has played a solitary ODI match but in T20Is he wasn’t able to make the most of the initial stages of the match.
