In the video shared by Star Sports, Ruturaj Gaikwad says, “You need support from your family, when you play in your city, sometimes you are not able to score, not perform, and you need support from your family. It is asked about this thing that why did you not perform today? And I think from his side it never happened that he ever doubted my ability or he ever doubted my effort. So, I think in that sense I’m really grateful that they’ve been supporting me from the beginning.” Chennai and Lucknow will face each other today Talking about CSK team, today i.e. on 23rd April, it will face KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
