Ruturaj Gaikwad: A place in the 2023 ODI World Cup?

Ruturaj Gaikwad World Cup Chances

Wonderfully campaign by Ruturaj Gaikwad in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022, Scored 660 runs in his last 5 matches

Ruturaj Gaikwad is a very strong contender to join Gill at the top. Looking past him is quite difficult. In 70 List-A games, the Maharashtra hitter amassed 3758 runs at an average of 58.71 runs per game, becoming a run machine in the local Indian circuit.

In his last four matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022, Gaikwad has amassed an incredible total of 552 runs, including a scorching double-century against Uttar Pradesh.

The Other Day Gaikwad Broke a Record

Ruturaj Gaikwad, an Indian hitter, broke the record for consecutive sixes in List A cricket on Monday, November 28 during the Vijay Hazare Trophy quarterfinals.

Gaikwad, who smashed seven sixes in a row (6 6 6 6 6nb 6 6), caused havoc, with Uttar Pradesh spinner Shiva Singh on the receiving end. Gaikwad then made history by hitting seven consecutive sixes in a single over while playing white-ball cricket.

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Future

Yes. After the present generation, Ruturaj Gaikwad has the potential to replace them as Team India’s opener. I would think that Ruturaj’s left-right opening lineup, which either includes Padikkal and Shubham Gill or Yashaswi Jaiswal, is strong. Kind of comparable to the current pairing of Rohit and Dhawan.

The best thing about Ruturaj Gaikwad is how quickly he switches from his front foot to his back foot after the ball is released. The field is set up for him, and he plays the bowler’s length.

Gaikwad’s Special Skills

When they notice batsmen sprinting down the field, bowlers immediately shorten their lengths. Ruturaj, though, reacts fast, diving deep into the crease in anticipation of the short ball, and cuts it.

He is a skilled player of spin as a result. Only when the batsman has total control over his footwork and balances his body weight in the brief seconds following the ball’s release before striking the ball is this possible. He can play on all the traditional types of fields because of his agility.

Shubham Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad Good Opening Partnership for India in Future

The duo of Gill and Gaikwad exudes elegance, and with its savage bat, it is capable of putting any bowling attack under pressure. Both batters are skilled at playing spin and pace and are able to quickly change directions. Given their excellent condition, one may expect to see the two batters start India’s innings in the lead-up to the World Cup in 2023.

This 2022 Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign will definitely prove important as he may be called up for the upcoming series. However if everything goes well we might see him in the 2023 ODI World Cup in India.
