3 reasons why Ruturaj Gaikwad must play all five ODIs in New Zealand
The Chennai Super Kings batter impressed against West Indies with an unbeaten 31 and a 57-run knock, earning his place in India's squad for the November series.
1. Exceptional ability to pace 50-over innings
Unlike fast-paced T20 formats where top-order batters often take a high-risk approach, Gaikwad’s main strength lies in his classical and calculated batting template. He excels at building a platform during the initial Powerplay and gradually changes gears. Gaikwad manipulates middle-overs spin effortlessly with low-risk strokeplay. The Chennai Super Kings captain possesses the ability to accelerate heavily in the final 10 overs—a trait vital for high-scoring ODI matches in New Zealand.
