“Why are people praising Ruturaj Gaikwad’s knock”, Twitter reacts as Ruturaj Gaikwad plays a relatively slow knock in Qualifier 1 against Gujarat

CSK and GT are currently playing in Qualifier 1 at Chepauk. Batting first, CSK has had a steady start, which included a fifty by Ruturaj Gaikwad. However, not all were happy with the knock. Here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as Ruturaj Gaikwad played a relatively slow knock in Qualifier 1 against Gujarat.

Ruturaj Gaikwad plays a slow knock against Gujarat

Ruturaj Gaikwad had an early life when he was dismissed off a no-ball. He got a free hit and from then on, it was a comfortable stay for the Maharashtra opener at the crease. However, his overall score was 60 from 44 deliveries, a strike rate which read 136. He hit seven boundaries and a six in this knock. Considering the start that he got, Rutu must have played at a better strike rate, according to the opinion of many.

Nevertheless, CSK lost a lot of wickets after Rutu fell and in the end, his knock can turn out to be a crucial one for the team in the important game. Also, Rutu stepping up in an important game is also something that will please both the CSK and the Indian fans. His ability to not wilt under pressure and take the game on its head is something that will be useful for the coming years.

Twitter reacts to the knock by Rutu

Considering the start that Rutu got, he must have been more aggressive. However, he played too many dot balls and got out at the wrong time. Here is how Twitter reacted to Ruturaj’s performance against GT at Chepauk:

Ruturaj, Conway, Dube, and Rahane are all trying their level best to make BCCI plant as many tress a possible.

It is good inning as of now Ruturaj. Second innings will decide if it bad or great.#CSKvsGT

Safe to say Conway got Ruturaj out #CSKvsGT @ChennaiIPL was way too slow and Rutu had to hit out – no choice
