Also, regarding Abhishek, who scored a century in his second match, Gaikwad said- He faced the spinners very well. We talked about maintaining our shape while playing our shots, the wicket was reacting in two ways, sometimes the ball would stop and sometimes it would get stuck.

Aakash Chopra spoke about the opening partnership of Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Aakash Chopra said, “When it was the turn of the run chase, it seemed that Chennai would look to win the match and improve their net rate a bit.

The former Indian opener further said, “Ruturaj Gaikwad was standing at the other end but was not doing anything. Rachin was hitting fours and sixes and he was watching from the other end. So until Rachin Ravindra got out, the game was RR vs RR. However, Rachin was out. It was a short innings. He scored 27 runs in 18 balls. Ravindra was not only the key partner in that partnership but he also faced most of the balls during the first wicket partnership.
