Ruturaj Gaikwad: Indian team's young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has performed well for Team India and in domestic cricket as well as in IPL for a long time, but despite this he has not been included in the team for the Sri Lanka tour.

However, now Gaikwad's luck may shine and he may get a chance in the team. Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir himself is going to give him this opportunity and he is going to return to the Indian team.

Ruturaj Gaikwad performed brilliantly on the Zimbabwe tour

Team India recently visited Zimbabwe and on this tour a 5-match T20 series was played between the two teams and in this series, Rituraj batted from top order to middle order and showed excellent performance.

Gaikwad scored 133 runs in 3 innings of 4 matches on this tour at an average of 66.50 and a strike rate of 158.33 and during this he also scored a half-century. However, even after this he was not given a chance in the team against Sri Lanka.

Ruturaj Gaikwad may get a chance in the T20 series against Sri Lanka

Actually, according to the reports coming out, Gaikwad (Ruturaj Gaikwad) has not been dropped from the team but this has been done to give chance to the young players and if any player gets injured during the T20 series, then Gaikwad can get a chance.

This 27-year-old player has consistently performed well but despite this he has not been given a chance in the team. Not only this, while playing against Zimbabwe, he also batted at number 4 and while playing there he played an unbeaten innings of 49 runs in 28 balls.

Ajit Agarkar reacted to the dropping of Ruturaj Gaikwad

Before Team India left for Sri Lanka, new head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar had said in a press conference that there are many players who perform well but have to be dropped from the team.

Rinku Singh had performed brilliantly before the T-20 World Cup but even after this he did not get a place in the World Cup team because we can select only 15 players.
