Ruturaj Gaikwad Starts IPL 2022 Season With A Duck Just Like IPL 2020 – Twitter Reacts | CSK vs KKR Match 1

IPL 2022 CSK vs KKR Updates: Chennai Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwad didn’t trouble the scorers much as he was dismissed off the third ball of the first over from Umesh Yadav. Nitish Rana took a brilliant catch in the slips as Gaikwad took the long walk back to the dressing room.
Umesh got the new ball to move and Gaikwad poked at a ball outside off-stump only to find Rana at slips who made no mistake. This is not the first the CSK opener has got out for a duck though. He started the 2020 season in a similar fashion and was dismissed for a duck in the first match. But Gaikwad more than made up for it in the following season (IPL 2021) by becoming the highest run-getter.
The 25-year-old has been a prolific run-scorer for Chennai off late and has scored 208 runs in the last 4 innings at an average of 52 and an impressive strike rate of 138.
Here is a look at how Twitter reacted to the dismissal:

TRENDING NOW
Having said all that, CSK will be aware of the fact that Gaikwad is a quality player and he has the whole tournament infront of him to make up for his early dismissal today.
