The day following the announcement of the World Cup squad, Kohli was deposed, and the batter wore the orange cap.
Indian player Virat Kohli is playing in the T20 World Cup. But the day after the team was revealed, he was dropped from the IPL. Top spot went to Ruturaj Gaikwad over Kohli.
The Indian Premier League is not going well for the cricketers who were given a chance in the T20 World Cup squad. There are 0 runs scored by batters. Runs are being scored by the bowlers. This time, Virat Kohli has been deposed. In the orange hat list, Ruturaj Gaikwad came in front of him. Despite performing well in the IPL, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings was left out of the World Cup roster.
In the Indian Premier League on Wednesday, Chennai, batting first against Punjab Kings, produced 162 runs in 20 overs at a cost of 7 wickets. The captain hit the majority of the runs with his bat. Rutu scored 62 runs in 48 balls during his innings. He made two sixes and five fours. After going down to open, he played nearly the entire time. Chennai would have been in serious difficulty without Ruturaj.
Ruturaj overtook Virat following this inning. 509 runs were scored by him in ten games. Following ten games, Kohli has 500 runs. Ruturaj had a strike rate of 146.68 and scored 63.63 runs. One hundred and four fifty was his score. The longest streak of 108 runs. In the current IPL, Ruturaj has slapped 15 sixes and 53 fours.
Even though Rutur scored runs one after the other, he was left off of India’s T20 World Cup squad. The team’s surplus of openers is one of the causes. Yasswi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma are present. In the IPL, Kohli is also starting. It would be really difficult to fit one more opener on that list. That is the fate that befell Rutu. The captain of Chennai is still doing well in the Indian Premier League despite not being selected for the World Cup team.
