Former Pakistan captain Waseem Akram praised Chennai Super Kings (CSK) striker Ruthuraj Gaikwad, saying the 26-year-old has a bright future. Gaikwad finished another successful season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a total of 590 runs. In the 2023 IPL final against the Gujarat Titans, Gaikwad made a quick shot of 26 to give his team a quick start in the big chase. With his consistent performances in the IPL as well as on the domestic circuits, Akram believes that Gaikwad is a huge prospect for the Indian team in the future.
“He showed great performance under pressure. His advantage is that he is physically in very good shape. He is a very good field player and also young. franchises he plays for,” Akram told Sportskeeda.
In the 2023 IPL Final, MS Dhoni led CSK to a record fifth title over the Gujarat Titans in what many considered his last match.
Ravindra Jadeja scored six and four from the last two as Chennai pursued his revised target of 171 over 15 overs with five spare wickets in a rainy final that came after 1:30 am local time Tuesday on reserve day in Ahmedabad after a dustbin on Sunday.
New Zealander Devon Conway led the chase with his 25th 47 before Ajinkya Rahane (27) and Shivam Dube undefeated 32 set the stage for Jadeja’s heroism.
Mohit Sharma needed 13 points after the final out and Mohit Sharma scored four good balls before Jadeja hit a winning streak, sparking a big celebration at the world’s largest cricket stadium.
