Gaikwad, who has scored 88 runs in four innings at an average strike rate of 118.91 in the ongoing edition of the tournament, will be looking to perform well against KKR. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra selected Ruturaj Gaikwad as the first top performer for the match to be held on Monday. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Ruturaj Gaikwad He said, “What will Chennai have to do to stop Kolkata’s winning streak? First of all, Ruturaj Gaikwad needs to score runs. He is the first player I focus on. It’s been four matches, he’s definitely been batting well once or twice, scoring good runs, but not being able to convert them into big innings.” The former India opener further said, “When you are in this phase of the season, where your team has won two and lost two, then you suddenly start feeling that the captain has to contribute, otherwise there will be pressure on the captain. Maybe you are batting poorly because of captaincy. Secondly, as a captain your decisions start to deteriorate.” Let us tell you that Chennai Super Kings has played a total of four matches this season. Out of which they have won two and lost two and they are currently at fourth position in the points table with four points. After losing the last two matches, Chennai would like to make a comeback in the tournament by registering a win against Kolkata.

“This was Rishabh Pant’s place, he should have come to bat”- Former cricketer raised questions on DC’s decision.
Batting first, Mumbai had set a huge target of 235 runs for DC. Delhi captain Rishabh Pant, who came to bat at the beginning of the 16th over in this match, was out after scoring only one run and the Capitals could only manage 205/8 after playing 20 overs and lost the match by 29 runs. Speaking on Delhi Capitals’ run chase in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Pant should have batted at No. 3. They said that, “You rarely succeed in chasing a target of 234 runs. However, he fought hard. Here I have a question. Prithvi Shaw was playing well. David Warner was out – no problem. However, who came to bat at no. 3 – Abhishek Porel. Nothing against the kid, he is very good, he once gave away 25 runs to Harshal Patel in the last over, but this was in Rishabh Pant’s place.” The former opener further said, “Rishabh Pant should have come. why did not you come? You didn’t give yourself time. Abhishek Porel did whatever he could. He was running close to a strike rate of 150, which is not a bad result, but you were chasing 234, here you should have sent the best batsman. In the same video, Aakash Chopra praised Bumrah for taking important wickets and bowling very economically. They said that, “Prithvi Shaw batted well and they needed Jasprit Bumrah to get Prithvi Shaw out. Boom Boom is in a different league. In such matches, when you are defending the score, you feel that it is not a 20-over match because Bumrah does not score runs in four overs.”
