2nd ODI: Virat Helped Me Through The Innings, Had A Wonderful Partnership, Says Gaikwad
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Right-handed batter Ruturaj Gaikwad credited Virat Kohli for guiding him fantastically on his way to hitting his maiden ODI century in the second game against South Africa, adding that their 195‑run stand was a "wonderful partnership".
At the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Wednesday, Gaikwad scored 105 off 83 balls, laced with 12 fours and two sixes, at a strike-rate of 126.51. He reached his fifty off 52 balls, before accelerating in superb fashion to get his first ODI century in just 77 deliveries.
“Obviously a dream to bat with him and have a wonderful partnership. He helped me a lot throughout the middle about how to access gaps, what lengths the bowler might be bowling and how you can adjust your technique and score some runs by playing less dot balls. So definitely very helpful and good learning for me.”
