Ruturaj Gaikwad Still Under Scanner Despite CSK's Wins: 'He Must Change His Approach'

Irfan Pathan requests Ruturaj Gaikwad to bat at No 3 for Chennai Super Kings as CSK rethink opening roles after mixed IPL performances.

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has said that if Ruturaj Gaikwad wants to play safe and anchor Chennai Super Kings’ innings, he should play at No. 3 and not open, to ensure that the openers get enough opportunities to pile up a big score and he can backup in case of an early wicket.

Despite Gaikwad’s lack of runs, Chennai Super Kings posted a strong 212 against Delhi Capitals, powered by an outstanding 115 off 56 deliveries from opening partner Sanju Samson.
