Ruturaj gaikwad

Maharashtra opener ​Ruturaj Gaikwad​ played probably the innings of his life scoring 220* in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but that wasn't the only extraordinary fact about that knock. Gaikwad smashed 7 sixes in one over on the way to a blistering knock destroying Uttar Pradesh spinner Shiva Singh's figures. Playing only his third match in the tournament, Gaikwad rose to the occasion for his side when it mattered the most - a knockout game. Gaikwad scored an unbeaten 220 off just 159 deliveries as he played probably the knock of his life. However, this is not the only extraordinary fact about that knock. During the knock, Gaikwad smashed seven sixes in one over (including a no-ball) bowled by left-arm spinner Shiva Singh. Singh came on to bowl the 49th over of the innings. He kept his length full throughout the over and it seemed like Gaikwad was just ready for it. A six over long-on, another straight down the ground, one over deep mid-wicket, a couple of over long-on, and the last two over long-on and deep mid-wicket, everything came off the middle off the bat, and everything went out of the ground. Gaikwad now achieved the highest run tally (43 runs in one over) in limited-overs Apart from Gaikwad, Ankit Bawane and Azim Kazi also contributed 37-each as Maharashtra posted a daunting total of 330 runs against Uttar Pradesh in the quarter-final of the domestic one-day competition. Gaikwad brought up his century in 109 balls and smashed the next 120 runs off just 50 deliveries. G...

(But) Coach Rahul Dravid took a call, asking the selectors to pick a replacement. So, Jaiswal will now fly to London soon,” a BCCI official toldThe Indian Express. Gaikwad was initially added by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as a backup opener for the WTC Final, in which India would play Australia at The Oval on June 7. When Gaikwad told the BCCI he could join the team after June 5, Rahul Dravid immediately started looking for a substitute. The cricket board was told of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s impending wedding on June 3–4. According to The Indian Express, Jaiswal will be travelling to London in a few days because the team management has asked him to start exercising with the red ball and he already has a UK visa. This season, Jaiswal has been in excellent shape. He amassed 625 runs while representing Rajasthan Royals in the IPL over the course of 14 games, and 404 runs over the course of five games in the Ranji Trophy.

Left-arm spinner Shiva Singh was the bowler hit for seven sixes - the fifth of which came off a no-ball, earning Gaikwad an extra delivery. The 43 runs conceded also equalled the record for most runs off an over. That record was set in Hamilton, New Zealand in 2018 by Northern Districts batters Joe Carter and Brett Hampton, who hit Central Districts' Willem Ludick for six sixes, a four and a single in an over containing two no-balls. Gaikwad, who plays for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, smashed 220 off 159 balls, including 16 sixes and 10 fours - going from 165 off 147 to 207 off 154 after his seven sixes. The opener's unbeaten 220 helped Maharashtra to post 330-5 from their 50 overs, on the way to a 58-run win. In 1990, former New Zealand captain Lee Germon hit eight sixes in an over which went for 77 during a first-class match, albeit in contrived circumstances. West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers was the first batter to hit six sixes in an over in professional cricket, and Gaikwad is the 10th player to do so. Gaikwad also equalled the record - held by three men - of hitting the highest number of sixes (16) in a single List-A (limited-overs) innings. Who has hit six sixes in an over in professional cricket? • 1968 - Sir Garfield Sobers (for Nottinghamshire v Glamorgan)* • 1984 - Ravi Shastri (Bombay v Baroda)* • 2007 - Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa v Netherlands, World Cup) • 2007 - Yuvraj Singh (India v England, T20) • 2017 - Ross Whiteley (Worces...

It was a great season for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Ruturaj Gaikwad. The young cricketer formed a formidable opening partnership with New Zealands' Devon Conway this season and the two duo laid the foundation of a many a memorable wins in the season, most notably the final where the CSK openers put on 74 runs in a 6.2 in the team's pursuit of 171 to win in 15 overs. Personally too, Gaikwad had a great run in However, away than his professional life, Gaikwad is also set to get matter in the first week of June. Notably, this was the very reason that the opening batter from Pune had informed the Board of Control For Cricket in India (BCCI) that he won't be able to travel with the Indian team as a reserve player. Consequently, Gaikwad was replaced by Yashasvi Jaiswal as a back-up opener who has already landed in the United Kingdom and looked in fine nick in his first Team India net session. Who Is Utkarsha Pawar, CSK Star Ruturaj Gaikwad's Wife-to-be? Notably, the 26-year-old Gaikwad is all set to tie the knot later this week (June 3) with Utkarsha Pawar. A recent picture in which MS Dhoni posted with the couple after CSK's IPL win had also surfaced on social media. Much like Ruturaj, Utkarsha is a cricketer who plies her trade for the Maharashtra women's cricket team. The 24-year-old is a right-handed batter and a right-arm medium fast bowler. She last played for Maharashtra in November 2021 against Punjab in a Senior Women's ODI Trophy fixture.

Ruturaj Gaikwad entered the Indian cricket fan's consciousness with a bang in 2021, when he made a whopping 635 runs for title winners Chennai Super Kings. The previous season the franchise had taken a punt on Gaikwad as one for the future, slotting him in as an anchoring opener who could attack when needed. They gave him six games and he showed what he was capable of, with over 200 runs. Towards the pointy end of the 2021 tournament, Gaikwad made 70 in the qualifier against Delhi Capitals and put on a partnership of 61 with Faf du Plessis in the final, taking CSK to 192, which turned out to be plenty. Fresh off that success, he captained Maharashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament and made 259 runs. Gaikwad's first-class, List A and T20 debuts came in 2016-17, and he shone in the middle format, with 444 runs, the third highest in the Vijay Hazare Trophy that year. He showed he had the game for all requirements when he produced 187 not out against Sri Lanka A in a List A game June 2019, and later in the year, a hundred and a fifty against Chhatisgarh in the Ranji Trophy.
