Former Fielding Coach of India Praises Ruturaj Gaikwad
Former Indian fielding coach R. Sridhar praised Ruturaj Gaikwad's blistering knock against Australia in the third T20I, saying the opener showed his "class" with shots over extra cover and pulls over midwicket. Despite India's first loss in the five-match T20I series against Australia, Gaikwad stood out in the third T20I on Tuesday at Guwahati. Gaikwad, with his brilliant knock, stood tall among other Indian batters, single-handedly taking the hosts to a daunting total of 222 in the first inning.
Carrying his bat through the Indian innings, Gaikwad brought up his maiden T20I century in the third of the five-match series.
Sridhar, in a conversation, said, “It was amazing to watch. A knock like this from Rutu was just around the corner. The way he anchored the innings in the previous game in Thiruvananthapuram, and here he played his role to perfection.”
