The CSK coach further added about Ruturaj Gaikwad:
Very happy with the way Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad are playing: Stephen Fleming
CSK openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf Du Plessis have been fabulous in the IPL this season.
Before Wednesday’s outing, the pair added 115 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and followed that up with 74 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Speaking about the CSK opening pair, Fleming said:
CSK’s win against SRH on Wednesday was their fifth in six games this season. They are now level on points with Royal Challengers Bangalore but ahead of Virat Kohli’s men, owing to a superior net run-rate.
