Virender Sehwag said about Rituraj Gaikwad’s innings on Cricbuzz, “I use such words in praise of Virat Kohli. But, the way Rituraj batted against Gujarat Titans, it was soothing to the eyes. No other batsman of CSK could play like Rituraj. Wickets were falling from one end. But, Rituraj continued to play in a stormy manner. He hit more sixes than fours in his innings. While he is not counted among the batsmen who hit more sixes.
