Rituraj has returned to Gaikwad in Dhoni’s team. He also batted for 23 minutes. Also scored a few runs. And also hit a few half a dozen balls across the boundary. Now you will say that all this is fine, but how did Gaekwad come out for the entire IPL season, how did they return so soon? Did Dhoni become the captain of his injury? So Sheikh Rashid is the answer to all these questions. Actually, Rituraj Gaikwad has returned in the shape of Sheikh Rashid in Dhoni’s team. The reason behind our saying is related to the style and mood of both.
Sheikh Rashid or Rituraj Gaikwad?
Sheikh Rashid was not brought to CSK as a replacement of Rituraj Gaikwad. Rather, he was already part of this team. He was just waiting for his turn. On April 14, Sheikh Rashid got to play CSK for the first time against Lucknow Super Giants. And, once he descended on the field wearing a helmet, he did not feel whether he was playing or Rituraj Gaikwad.
Look at the shot
Like Rituraj, Sheikh Rashid is also an opener. The style of playing many shots is also like Sheikh Rashid’s Rituraj. Like look at this back-lift. If the name is not written, then it should be difficult for you to tell who is Sheikh Rashid and who Rituraj Gaikwad.
Many more similar shots are common between Sheikh Rashid and Rituraj Gaikwad, about which talks are going on on social media.
