Ruturaj Gaikwad: Gautam Gambhir has become the new coach of the Indian cricket team and he will take over his responsibility from the Sri Lanka tour. This tour will start from July 27 and for this the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the squad of Team India.

When the team was announced for the T20 series against Sri Lanka, the biggest surprise was that the name of young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad was not included in this squad.

Ruturaj Gaikwad performed brilliantly against Zimbabwe

Recently, Team India visited Zimbabwe and young players were included in the team on this tour. On this tour, the captaincy of Team India was handed over to Shubman Gill and now he has been made the vice-captain of the team against Sri Lanka.

Rituraj performed brilliantly in this series and scored 133 runs in 3 innings of 4 matches with an average of over 66 and a strike rate of 158. During this, a half-century innings came out of his bat. Despite this excellent performance, he was dropped from the team.

Gaikwad became a victim of politics in Team India

In fact, Gaikwad was not included in the team selected against Sri Lanka, while Gill did not perform well against Zimbabwe and even after this he has been made the new vice-captain of the team.

Gill scored the most runs against Zimbabwe on the last tour but his strike rate was 125 and he batted so slowly against such a weak team. Despite this, he was included in the team and Gaikwad was shown the way out of the team as a part of politics. Riyan Parag, who performed poorly on that tour, has also been given a chance in the team.

Ruturaj Gaikwad may take retirement

Before becoming the head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir used to say that the players in the team should be selected on the basis of merit, but despite his presence, Rituraj was dropped from Team India despite performing well. Now in such a situation the question arises whether Gaikwad will get a chance in the future or not.

Despite Gaikwad's excellent performance, he was dropped and now if he does not get a chance in the coming time, can he announce his retirement? If something like this happens, Gautam Gambhir will also be responsible for this because he is currently the head coach of the team and the team cannot be selected without his advice.
