“He came up with an excellent performance under pressure. The plus with him is that he is physically very fit. He is a very good fielder and is young as well. Gaikwad has a bright future when it comes to Indian cricket as well as the franchises he plays for.”
In IPL 2023 final against the Gujarat Titans, Gaikwad hit a quickfire 26 to give his side a flying start in the big chase. Due to his consistent performances in the IPL, as well as the domestic circuit, Wasim feels that Gaikwad is a huge prospect for the Indian team going into the future.
