IPL 2022: Team-wise one young player who looks certain to serve the franchise for long duration
These players are likely to become the face of the team in the near future.
2. CSK- Ruturaj Gaikwad
So far, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been excellent for CSK. The youngster in his first two IPL seasons scored a truckload of runs for Chennai. Perhaps then based on those performances, the lad straightforwardly got retained. Currently, in IPL 2022, Gaikwad has blown hot and cold (366 runs from 13 games).
However, despite his slight inconsistency, the 25-year old looks like an elite cricketer in the making. In fact, for CSK, Gaikwad looks befitting in many ways. His role of batting deep and getting big scores has often been the trait that CSK demands from its openers. Even with regards to his gameplay, Gaikwad has all the gears, especially when set during his batting.
Overall from his three IPL seasons, Gaikwad has scored 1205 runs from 35 matches. Certainly, in the future times, this batter will become a run machine much like his senior- Suresh Raina.
