IPL 2022: ‘This Year You'll Have The Chance To Come And Support Us’- Ruturaj Gaikwad Urges Local Support From Pune Ahead Of GT vs CSK Game

CSK batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has urged the locals from Pune to come out and support his team as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be looking to add another win to their kitty in the ongoing IPL 2022, when they face off against Gujarat Titans on Sunday, 17 April in the MCA stadium in Pune.

Gujarat Titans are at the top of the IPL 2022 points table with 4 wins from five matches, while CSK has won just one out of their five games, a win coming against Royal Challengers Bangalore after they had lost their first four matches in the ongoing tournament.

The defending champions have already been dealt a huge blow in the IPL 2022 as their premier pacer Deepak Chahar, who was bought in the IPL 2022 mega auction for INR 14 crores, has been ruled out of cricket for three months including the whole of the IPL 2022 edition.

He suffered a fresh back injury while rehabbing at the NCA for his quad tear, he had suffered during the West Indies T20I series at home.
