Former Indian middle-order batsman Ambati Rayudu, renowned for his exploits with IPL franchises Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, has expressed a strong belief in the potential of 26-year-old opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad. Rayudu, who shared the dressing room with Gaikwad during his tenure with CSK, views the young talent as an underutilized asset within Indian cricket circles and envisions Gaikwad as a potential future leader of the national team.
During an interview on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s chat show, Rayudu, who represented India in the 2015 ODI World Cup, emphasized Gaikwad’s abundant talent and advocated for his increased involvement across various cricketing formats. Rayudu praised Gaikwad’s striking abilities, remarkable timing, diverse shot-making skills, robust fitness regimen, and composed temperament.
According to Rayudu, Gaikwad possesses the complete package required to evolve into a world-class cricketer, highlighting his innate calmness, strategic reading of the game, and an undercurrent of silent determination akin to former Indian captain Dhoni.
Rayudu’s admiration for Gaikwad’s cricketing prowess extends to a belief that Gaikwad’s potential leadership qualities and on-field expertise could serve as a significant asset for Indian cricket in the future. With a keen eye on Gaikwad’s talents, Rayudu asserts the necessity for providing ample opportunities to Gaikwad to harness his capabilities and elevate his contribution to the national team.
