Chennai Super King’s young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad finally made head turns as he bounced back to form on Sunday against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MCA Stadium in Pune.

Gaikwad, who impressed one and all with his terrific performances and rocked the Orange Cap last season, was seen struggling to score runs in the ongoing 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. However, after having a quiet season as the opener of Chennai Super Kings, Gaikwad has finally made a stellar return to form as he smashed an impressive knock of 99 runs against SunRisers Hyderabad.
