Everyone was surprised when Ruturaj Gaikwad retired hurt and returned to the pavilion in the prestigious domestic tournament of the Board of Control for Cricket in India Duleep Trophy. Veteran batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is captaining India C, retired hurt on the second ball of the match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur on Thursday. After being invited to bat, Gaikwad hit a four off India B fast bowler Mukesh Kumar on the first ball of the match, but was forced to retire hurt on the next ball. It is being said that his ankle got twisted while stealing a run and this dashing batsman from Maharashtra had to leave the field. Rajat Patidar of Madhya Pradesh replaced Gaikwad, who came to the crease to support Sai Sudarshan.

Constantly getting injured
In the last round in Anantapur, Gaikwad’s team won a thrilling victory over India D. Chasing a target of 236 runs in a close match, Gaikwad set the tone for India C by scoring a quick 46 off 48 balls. Gaikwad was included in the Indian Test team for the South Africa tour last December, but due to a finger injury, the 27-year-old batsman could not return and has been out of the national team since then. It is important to mention here that Gaikwad, who made his first-class debut for Maharashtra in October 2016, has since scored 2000+ runs at an average of over 42 with six centuries and 10 half-centuries.
