Dropping some amazing stats of Rutu
21 balls by Ruturaj Gaikwad is the longest stretch without a boundary by a opener in IPL 2026.
71.42 SR by Ruturaj is the second-lowest in an innings of 20 balls faced in IPL 2026 after 70.93 by Arshin Kulkarni (LSG) vs RCB at Lucknow.
How can one be an opener, stay for entire powerplay, play 21 balls and score only 15 runs.
What's wrong with Rutu ? Is it captaincy pressure ? Hand it over to Samson.
Is it timing issue ? Come down the order.
Almost entire IPL is done. Sorry state of SR and runs.
He is creating pressure on Samson. After Samson's wicket, it is creating pressure on Urvil, which is making him slog every ball.
