Ruturaj Gaikwad's Current Form

As the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) prepare to face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Chepauk, all eyes will be on their captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad. The opening batsman has faced challenges in finding his rhythm this season.


Following their initial victory against the Delhi Capitals (DC), CSK is eager to build on this momentum. In contrast, KKR is looking for their first win after experiencing three losses and one match that ended without a result.


In the ongoing tournament, Gaikwad has yet to surpass the 30-run mark. Across four innings, he has accumulated 56 runs, averaging 14.00 with a strike rate of 103.70, and his highest score stands at 28.


A worrying statistic for Ruturaj is his dot-ball percentage, which has reached 38.4% in T20 matches since the beginning of 2025.


Since early 2025, he has scored only 184 runs in 10 innings, averaging 18.40, with two half-centuries and a top score of 63.
