Cricket Viral Video: It looks like, Chennai Super Kings’ long-term search for a new wicketkeeper has finally ended. Ruturaj Gaikwad has been the rescuer of CSK for a while now.
He replaced MS Dhoni as the skipper of the franchise and now he might be gearing up to replace him as the wicket-keeper as well. It will save CSK a lot of headaches in the next season if it truly happens.
After being snubbed from the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Indian squad, Gaikwad has been playing in Maharastra Premier League. Like always, he has been killing it with the bat, but everyone saw him in a completely different avatar on Monday.
Cricket Viral Video: Gaikwad’s New Avatar
The incident happened during the match between Puneri Bappa and Chhatrapati Sambhaji King in MPL on Monday. We have seen many non-wicketkeepers putting on gloves during emergencies at various times.
But, to everyone’s shock and delight, Gaikwad stood behind the stumps with gloves on from the very first delivery. Fans were delighted to see that and immediately compared this sight with the great MS Dhoni.
Gaikwad got the opportunity to showcase his wicketkeeping skills on the very first delivery when Vivek bowled a very big wide down the leg side. The skipper dived brilliantly down the leg side to safely grab the ball.
What A Year!
It has been a wonderful year for Ruturaj Gaikwad so far. He was one of the top scorers in IPL 2024. And now he has taken over the MPL as well with 290 runs at an average of 48.33 and a Strike Rate of 168.60.
That is why it was quite shocking when he was not even selected as a reserve for the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024. But the Indian team is due for a huge shuffle and Gaikwad might get an opportunity soon.
