Gaikwad’s innings gave Chennai a target of 179 runs for the defending champions. Rituraj’s 92 off 4 balls achieved the target in Gujarat earlier.
Rituraj Gaikwad on one side and the rest of the Chennai batsmen on the other hand, in the first match of IPL, this Chennai Super Kings batsman shone in such a way that the rest of the batsmen faded in front of him. Gaikwad scored a challenging 178 against defending champions Gujarat Titans on Friday, where Gaikwad scored 92 runs in 50 balls, while the rest of the Chennai batsmen were able to add 78 runs in 71 balls. Gujarat achieved the target by scoring 182 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 19.2 overs. Suman scored 23 runs in 36 balls from Gujarat.
Gaikwad’s performance in the first match in the last three seasons of IPL was extremely disappointing. In 2020, he was able to score five runs in the first match, 20 in 2021 and only 2 runs in 2022, but today when he came on the field, he showed from the first ball itself that he is ready to play a big innings. Between falling wickets from one end, Rituraj Gaikwad did not let Chennai’s innings slow down, he had taken Chennai’s score beyond 100 for 11 overs and by the time he was at the crease, it seemed that 200 could easily be scored. Cross the figure.
