There is no doubt in the fact that Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the most important players in the CSK team currently. Ever since he was included in the CSK playing XI in IPL 2020, he has never let down the management or Captain MS Dhoni and last year he proved his true potential.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was the highest run scorer in IPL 2021 and was a big contributing factor in them lifting their 4th trophy. He became the youngest player ever to win the Orange cap award in IPL history and this just proves exactly how strong he is.
CSK were in a big concern whether Ruturaj Gaikwad will play the first few matches of IPL 2022 or not as he had suffered a minor injury. Although the injury is not that serious and it will probably not cause him much harm, CSK could not have risked the fitness of their best player and thus it was ideal for both parties that he be rested.
However, latest reports and the recently conducted Yo yo test revealed that Ruturaj Gaikwad is almost fully fit and thus he has joined the CSK camp and is fit for selection in the first match as well.
CSK Chairman has announced: “Yes, Ruturaj is all fit. He has joined the squad and has begun practice. He is available for selection.”
This is indeed a very positive news for Chennai Super Kings as they would eagerly want to start their campaign with a win.
