IPL 2024 | Twitter reacts as Hyderabad switches loyalties to welcome Ruturaj with deafening roar
Great performances can make every place like home due to the support of fans. Scuh was the case with Ruturaj Gaikwad as the atmosphere was charged during the toss with the crowd exploding in cheers as Sunrisers Hyderabad squared off against Chennai Super Kings in Hyderabad.
Following an electrifying match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, the Hyderabad crowd eagerly anticipated another thrilling encounter as the home team prepared to take on the Chennai Super Kings. With both teams eager for a win after their recent losses, the atmosphere in Hyderabad was charged with excitement. However, a heartwarming moment unfolded as the crowd showed more enthusiasm in cheering for the visiting captain Gaikwad during the toss than for their home team skipper Pat Cummins, highlighting the beauty and spirit of cricket.
Cummins tossed the coin and emerged victorious, electing to bowl first. As the 30-year-old geared up to engage in a conversation with presenter Pommie Mbangwa, the crowd erupted in cheers, displaying their unwavering support for the visiting team. When CSK skipper Gaikwad stepped forward to converse with Mbangwa, the noise level in the Stadium echoed and further amplified until the conversation was over. The uproar was so intense that the presenter momentarily halted, struggling to hear Gaikwad amidst the cacophony.
The incident garnered significant attention on Twitter, with users taking to social media platforms to discuss it fervently.
What a roar!

Ruturaj Gaikwad has more crowd support from an away stadium in Hyderabad than Hardik Pandya has at his home stadium in Wankhede.
