‘You did not see my keeping ..’, Dhoni or no one else, Rituraj Gaikwad told himself India’s best wicketkeeper

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain and Team India opener Rituraj Gaikwad is on social media these days. The reason is an interesting answer that he gave during a conversation with children.

In fact, the Maharashtra team played the first match of the Buchi Babu Invitational tournament against Chhattisgarh. After this, Rituraj met the children. During the conversation, when a child asked, “Who is your India’s best wicketkeeper?” So everyone felt that the answer would be to Dhoni or someone else. But Rituraj pointed to himself in a funny way and said, “You have seen my keeping? Go look on YouTube, look at Shoaib Akhtar instead of looking at my keeping.” On hearing this, the children present there started laughing.

Not only this, when the children asked him who he thinks the most difficult bowler, Rituraj named New Zealand fast bowler Trent Bolt.

During the interaction, he also questioned the children with fun questions and answers. When he asked which IPL team liked, all the children said in a unit, “CSK, CSK …” but as soon as some children named Mumbai Indians and RCB, Rituraj immediately said jokingly, “Out, out .. no longer will you find a place in CSK.”

However, Rituraj’s bat on the field is quiet at this time. In the first innings of the first match against Chhattisgarh, he was able to score only 1 runs and was dismissed for 11 runs in the second innings. The result was that Maharashtra lost by 35 runs.
