IPL 2022, CSK vs GT | Twitter reacts as Ruturaj Gaikwad departs after scoring fifty at ‘questionable’ strike rate
T20 cricket is all about scoring runs quickly irrespective of wherever teams play, but Ruturaj Gaikwad has failed to do that during CSK's IPL 2022 game against GT on Sunday. Gaikwad scored 53 off 49 balls, with four fours and one six, before he was undone by Rashid Khan in the 16th over.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) did not get an ideal start against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday in Match 62 of IPL 2022 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. After MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat, CSK could only manage 109 in 15 overs, with the loss of two wickets. It was largely due to Ruturaj Gaikwad's slow knock, who took 44 balls to bring up his 10th IPL fifty.
But Gaikwad was about to shift the gear after reaching his individual feat. However, it did not come off as Rashid Khan, the GT vice-captain, came to bowl the 16th over and got him. He bowled a flatter delivery to Gaikwad, which the latter played down the wicket, only to find Matthew Wade at deep mid-wicket. With that, his slow 53-run knock, which came at a questionable strike rate of 108.16, ended.
CSK, after losing Gaikwad, lost Shivam Dube cheaply as well in the next over, to Alzarri Joseph.
It looked more like that!
Ruturaj Gayakwad with 53(48) on was on his Personal Fifty… Nothing for team.
