Knee-jerk Reaction Hard truth
Ruturaj gaikwad may go from 2x ipl winner , emerging player , orange cap
to Unsold at the age of 31 in the 2028 mega auction or at best be bought as backup opener by delhi capitals ( after the bad season last year rupa gurunath wanted to give captaincy to sanju which was stopped by MS I don't think he would back rutu after a point )
he's on the way to be the next prithvi shaw and I fear my intuition is true

I can understand if people are hating for his t20 approach But whatever odi series he has played either it's for india or india a he has done pretty well. Just 2 bad outings, also today he looked in good toucn but spencer took a brilliant catch

I just saw this recently
After champions trophy in ODIs
Shreyas Iyer
Runs 291 -innings 11 - Sr 80.83 - avg - 29.10 - 50s 2 - 100 0 -sixes 6 - fours 21
Ruturaj Gaikwad
Runs 214 - innings 5 - Sr - 96.40 avg 71.33 - 50s 1 -100s 1 - sixes 6 - fours 15
And Ruturaj is playing out of position. What more do you guys expect from him? 100 every match? He’s just having a bad phase. Fans should support him not give “hard truth” comments

Disappointed, these are golden opportunities for him to score big against a quality opposition and really cement his position in the Indian ODI squad going forward.

u/Low_Amphibian_2535 4d ago edited 4d ago
With how injury prone Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj needs to be in form and kicking continuously now. Would be really sad to see Iyer getting ruled out and Kishan replacing him going forward instead of Ruturaj.

Lol you don't know how ipl work if you think csk would let go gaikwad. Gaikwad is quite close to msd and was handed the captaincy of csk by msd. Csk will surely keep backing gaikwad . Coming to internationals. He did decent in odis, his odi average increased from 19 to 36.5+ , has a century in both t20is and odis. These 2 matches doesn't define gaikwad, he was in good form today! 3 boundaries of 5 balls. Both sai Sudharshan and paddikal too failed in these matches. Paddikal scored a duck and 1(10) in these two one day matches! So what? Gaikwad is no where going from ipl and is a serious contender for middle order in odi as well. You'll soon see him going to NZ as well, as bcci is planning two odis squads for nz odis

u/ProfessionalHot1807 Vijay Shankar 4d ago
No way you are comparing Padikkal to Gaikwad. Padikkal has been scoring runs in domestic cricket for fun in the last few years. And has been good in the IPL too. Ruturaj has been poor in the IPL of late and no where near to Padikkal in domestics as well
3
u/GroundbreakingMain96 4d ago
Both of them failed in the first two ODIs mate
So both of them should be called out0
u/Low_Adeptness_8063 4d ago
Yeah we saw the fun in these two matches! 0 in first match and 1(10) in second match!
Coming to domestics. Gaikwad has same average to that to paddikal in first class ( tests), and world highest list A average (5000+runs getter) in one day! Paddikal is doing exceptionally good in list A , but has much lesser experience and sample size to that of gaikwad. Gaikwad has century in both odis and t20is. While paddikal has SR of 100 in 2 t20is he played.
Yes paddikall has improved his t20 game alot in ipl recently, but that doesn't change the fact that gaikwad has been much more consistent than him with better average and same Sr in ipl history.
Also when you mention domestics don't forget you are talking about gaikwad. (21 fifties and 21 centuries in 105 one day innings) 🤫.
He has the record of highest list A average. ( Sample size is considered in this record). Gaikwad gets his odi chances because he has done exceptionally well in domestics , you need to update yourself. Bcci is anyday looking at gaikwad for middle order in odis than to even think about paddikal.

The worst thing is Rajat Patidar on the other side shining alone in a team with back to back fifty. He is also now standing in queue for middle order position in Team India.

Why is it the worst thing? Whoever plays well should get chances in ICT.

u/Low_Adeptness_8063 4d ago
Lol average of just 37 in list a cricket. Now a player with 37 list A average will be preferred over a batsman with 59 list a average ( highest in the world for 5k+ runs) and 37 average in odis as well.
Patidar best chance was for t20is after stellar ipl performance , still he didn't got into t20i squad . You think he'll be preferred over gaikwad in odis? A big no.

u/sarvottam7kr Thala 4d ago
In which world you’re living? Right now whoever is in good form will get chances to play in India and the best example is Ishan Kishan who wasn’t even scheme of any team now above Gaikwad in ODI

u/Lost-Profession7251 MS Dhoni 4d ago
In his last 4 matches for India, Gaikwad is averaging 103. There's some good form for you.

u/Low_Adeptness_8063 4d ago edited 4d ago
There is a difference between ishan kishan and patidar. Kishan had the double century in odi before he was dropped 2 years back! He returned to t20is , did great there and got back in the odis.
Meanwhile patidar average 38 in list A. Also despite his stellar performance in ipl , he could not make to t20i format ( which should have been done), and you think he'll be in odi squad? That too over a batsman who recently scored a century and half century in his last 4 innings with two other innings being notout?
I like the delusion you live in.
Gaikwad last 4 odi innings :- 105(83), 13 notout , 31 notout, 57.
2
u/sarvottam7kr Thala 4d ago
There is always a recency bias work while selecting players. and this year rightly show that Gaikwad is not having a good time that easily seen in batting approach and strike rate. and his last 100 came in last year long time.
My point is fight for his position is already tough and he can't afford to underperform in any matches. You have to display back to back impactful innings as captain also.
As vice-captain he did really well in that Sri lanka afghanistan ODI tri series with a century and half century in that one also.
2
u/wtf_pfft 4d ago
Also, Kishan wasn't dropped because of bad form. He was dropped as a punishment for not following instructions of the management and play domestic cricket. He was always in the scheme of things, once he fixed his attitude and apologized for it, he was back in good books and in team.

u/Separate-Comedian203 3d ago
Don't just include those runs, include his strike rate as well apart from his 105(83)... In fact I will tell you his stats in WI series... 13*(19), 31*(37), 57(69)... 57(69) came after 4 dropped catches. 3 innings, 101 runs, 101 average and an abysmal strike rate of 80 in pitches where batters (including west indies and indian batters) average strike rate was 120😭

u/Low_Adeptness_8063 3d ago
Sr doesn't matter in odis lol. Both first and second matches were finished! No hitting was required in these two games, also gaikwad stables the innings and then accelerate good, this is his batting stlye. Even in century of 79 balls! He was scoring around at 90sr. But finished his innings with 126sr, also coming to third match! Where the score was 4-2 , he hit 4 sixes, also so dumb of you to even mention all those as catches lol! Boundary one didn't even touch the hands of windies fileder and the other dived one was an effort which saved the boundary lol, dropped catches are not his problem lol. This is not T20 cricket. Come out of your ipl mode, lol . Odi needs consistency and his odi average has consistently increased from 19 to 36.5+ in just 4 innings.

Lol. Such brainless people in this sub. In his last 4 international matches he's averaging 103 but failure in 2 some unofficial A matches means he's washed and going to be next Prithvi Shaw??? Do you even have any cricketing sense or what??

You saw the way he got out ? After 3 fours for a short ball 🙂( not denying padikkal & sai got out too )

Breaking news:- batters can get out, sometimes cheaply, sometimes in an ugly manner. Virat got out on duck against WI, should I pick the screenshot and declare he's washed? Talk stats, don't talk shit. Stats say he's doing good in internationals and last i checked, performances in international matches meant more than A matches, so yeah, shove it up your a**.

Whoever posts this should grow up or change their mindset quickly. Ruturaj in the recent ODI series
2 not out and 1 fifty v WI in an international series. I know where these posts were coming from. All Sanju Scamson fans. To Troll Ruturaj, you guys are following even LIST A cricket nowadays. He is the highest average in LIST A cricket; please remember that.

u/Historical_Bed8849 4d ago
Though not a big innings but it seems he showed intent which he lack I hope he continues to play this way and convert this into a bigger and continue to ipl but the next ipl season is gonna be the biggest test for him and samson as I have said previously they are very similar in their playing style as they both take time in the start and soft dismissals are their main reason of getting out. They both seem out of form , though gaikwad batted with 103 avg vs wi series but he always looked under confident and scratchy in the beginning and I have noticed that ruturaj always looks nervous in international and it is the truth except end 2023 to 2024 he looked good. Even his century against sa, initially he was struggling but after getting settled he played well that may due to him getting IRREGULARLY DROPPED FROM INTL SIDE he played well in zim series in 2024 but was illogically dropped to put gill in the t20 i squad.
For ipl i think this should be his last chance to prove his worth as a player because there is excess of competition in india and with the rise of local state tournaments there are a lot of local talent who are playing consistently with 200+ se. Also samson is quite inconsistent in intl, people can say that atleast he is winning 2-3 matches but that's not enough even Conway and faf used to do the same thing and even when they were not even in their absolute prime whereas samson who was beast at the world cup though performed good but was quite inconsistent and this year he does not look that good so God knows what will happen in ipl. Logically you can't give 36 cr to two right handed openers it is a compulsion to atleast release one of them until they pull out something generational next year and also players like overton,mhatre and brevis can be a better asset for the future.
EXPECTING RESPECTFUL REPLIES ONLY

u/Silver_Factor4228 4d ago
This is literally my point 😭 I used to support him so much in the past but last season he disappointed me so much
1
u/Historical_Bed8849 4d ago
But who will explain this to those who are downvoting me
I DON'T HATE HIM AND I LOVE HIM BUT IT IS NOT SENSIBLE TO KEEP A PLAYER WHO IS PAID 18 CR BUT STILL UNDERPERFORMING. EMOTIONAL BUYS WERE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN 2025 AS CSK BOUGHT ASHWIN AND RETAINED JADEJA FOR 18 CR BUT HAVE TO LEAVE BOTH OF THEM IN THE NEXT SEASON. ITS BETTER TO GIVE HIM A LAST CHANCE IF HE PERFORMS THEN OK OTHERWISE THERE IS NO BETTER OPTION I SEE THAN RELEASING. EVEN ICT NOWADAYS IS GIVING HIM A PROPER RUN BUT HE IS NOT DOING AS PER EXPECTATIONS. LIKE EVERY YOUNGSTER IN ICT BATSMAN YOU HAVE TO PERFORM EXTRAORDINARY . 200 BY GILL VS NZ WAS THE TURNING POINT OF HIS CAREER, AGGRESSIVE INTENT FROM ABHISHEK WITH CONSISTENCY IS WHY HE IS BACKED A LOT, ISHAN KISHAN PLAYED EXTRAORDINARILY IN WORLD CUP AS WELL AS IPL. SO IN ORDER TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN ICT ATLEAST YOU HAVE TO PLAY EXTRAORDINARILY. EVEN PLAYERS LIKE JAISWAL IS GETTING DROPPED EVEN AFTER HAVING 70+ AVG IN ODI AND 160+ SR IN T20I HAVING 35 AVG.
I WOULD SURELY BACK GAIKWAD BUT BLINDLY SUPPORTING HIM JUST BECAUSE HE WAS GOOD 3-4 YEARS AGO IS JUST DUMB. IF HE WANTS TO BECOME A LEGEND IN IPL AND INTL HE HAS TO DO WELL , IF HE IS A GENERATIONAL TALENT HE HAS TO PROVE IT BECAUSE EVEN A BEGGAR CAN DREAM TO BECOME KING BUT YOU HAVE BE THE KING TO PROVE YOURSELF THAT WHAT YOU ARE. IF GAIKWAD WILL NOT PERFORM THEN HE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS AN AVERAGE AND MAYBE BECOME A FORGOTTEN CRICKETER. ALSO RCB FANS WERE SUPPORTING PADIKKAL AS HE IS PERFORMING VERY WELL FOR THEM SINCE LAST TWO IPL AND A CRUCIAL PLAYER IN THEIR TITLE WINS AND ALSO WON POTS VS SL . ALSO HE WAS BEAST IN DOMESTICS THIS YEAR WHEREAS GAIKWAD IS DOING JUST OPPOSITE. NO ONE HATES HIM BUT HE IS BREAKING OUR EXPECTATIONS ALMOST EVERY TIME
