After the retirement of these three players, there is a discussion about who will replace them? At the same time, the biggest debate is about who will come as Virat Kohli’s replacement? Many experts believe that Ruturaj Gaikwad is technically capable of replacing him. Let us tell you that Ruturaj Gaikwad is currently busy playing the T20 series against Zimbabwe. After failing in the first T20 match, he made a brilliant comeback in the second T20 and scored 77 runs in 47 balls. After this innings, the discussion about him as Kohli’s replacement has gained momentum. However, Gaikwad believes that he has not paid attention to such comparisons. He also said that it is quite difficult to replace Kohli. It is very difficult. Know what Gaikwad said “It’s a big topic and I think this is not the right time to think about it. Even comparing him (Kohli) or trying to replace him is very difficult and hard to do,” Gaikwad said in a video shared by the BCCI. The right-handed batsman further said, as I said in the IPL also that it is difficult to fill the place of Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni).
