SRH vs CSK: Twitter Reacts As Ruturaj Gaikwad Misses His 2nd Century In IPL By 1 Run

Ruturaj Gaikwad has not been in the best of forms in IPL 2022. He had scored only 138 runs in 8 innings in the season before the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday.

But he changed things around in Pune, his home ground, on Maharashtra Day as he missed his 2nd century in IPL by just 1 run.

He became just the 5th player in the history of the tournament to be dismissed for 99.

Ruturaj Gaikwad looked solid from ball 1 itself. He was timing the ball well. He didn’t look unsettle as he had in the previous games. He always looked in the zone since he arrived on the crease.

Once he got his eye in, he didn’t let any bowler settle at all. He especially went after Umran Malik who was the player of the match in the last game for SRH.

Ruturaj might have missed his century by just a run, but his return to form may indicate a change in fortune for CSK as MS Dhoni has also returned to captain the side in a season where nothing much has gone CSK’s way.

Earlier in the day Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to field first. MS Dhoni was at the toss and the stadium erupted with cheers. It needs to be mentioned that MCA stadium in Pune has previously been a home ground for CSK. So the ground was bound to erupt in cheers as Dhoni walked out for the toss.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Ruturaj Gaikwad missing his century:

So much to like about RG. Plays express pace like most do against medium pace. He will get there in time. No Doubts. Classy stuff tonite @Ruutu1331 @ChennaiIPL @IPL #SRHvsCSK #IPL2022 pic.twitter.com/M4EQR9vEg6
