Ruturaj Gaikwad’s heroic innings in the IPL 2023 qualifier 1 is still fresh in our memories
In the IPL 2023 Qualifier 1, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced off against the Gujarat Titans. Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped up when it mattered the most. Batting with poise and precision, he anchored the innings, guiding CSK to a competitive total of 173 runs. But his job wasn’t done yet.

His fielding prowess and agility in the outfield added to the pressure on the Titans. In the final overs, CSK wrapped up the game, winning by 15 runs.
