'Wanted To Be There Till The End': Gaikwad After Guiding CSK To Win Over MI
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad said his primary aim was to bat till the end and finish the chase for the team after leading his side to a convincing eight-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
Chasing 160, Gaikwad anchored the innings with an unbeaten 67 off 48 balls, stitching a decisive 98-run partnership with youngster Kartik Sharma (54*) as CSK chased down the target with 11 balls to spare.
“It feels good that I won my first 50 and also the team and finished the game, I always felt I was batting really well and I kept talking to myself that once I got in, once I crossed that 20 or 25, I wanted to make sure that I’m there till the end and make sure I hit the winning goal,” Gaikwad said in a video released by IPL on X.
