Twitter Celebrates Ruturaj Gaikwads Return to Form Against Sri Lanka A

Every player has a format where they're known to dominate, and for Ruturaj Gaikwad, it is the 50 over format. He made his return to this format with the tri-series against Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A, as the first match took place today. India A was batting first, as the openers, Prabhsimran Singh and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lost their wickets quickly.

But Ruturaj Gaikwad quickly came to resurrect the team's innings and led them to a competitive total. He went on to score 101 runs off 114 balls, on a pitch where it gets challenging to bat as the game progresses. He was supported by Priyansh Arya (32) and the skipper Tilak Varma (60), as India A was able to post a total of 277 runs for the loss of 6 wickets.

This century shows that Gaikwad has been one of the most consistent players in the 50 over format. In his List A career, he is now having 21 centuries and 19 half-centuries in just 96 innings.

Here's how Twitter has reacted to his comeback.

Munna Bhaiya Style

Whenever it comes to List A cricket, Gaikwad literally turns out to be Munna Bhaiya. As of now, it is Gaikwad who is ruling for the team in this format.

Words!

A Twitter user perfectly defined how Gaikwad has been a star player in this format. Everyone can hit the ball with the bat but only a few of them have the capability to protect the innings.

Unreal Stats

Ruturaj Gaikwad is not just having a good time in this game. Over his last five games in List A, he has managed to score a half-century in each game.
