Maharashtra cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad seemed to have forgotten about reaching his hundred on Day 1 of the 2025 Buchi Babu tournament match against Himachal Pradesh. After taking a single to complete his ton and reaching the non-striker's end, the right-handed batter didn't celebrate it at all as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
Gaikwad struggled in the match against Chhattisgarh, making scores of 1 and 11 as Maharashtra lost despite Prithvi Shaw's valiant hundred. Nevertheless, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has made the opportunity count, getting to the three-figure mark only off 122 deliveries. He nonchalantly got to the non-striker's end and did not celebrate the milestone.
Watch the below video:
Gaikwad, nevertheless, was dismissed for 133 by Prince Thakur, who held on to a caught and bowled opportunity. The 28-year-old had stitched a 120-run stand with Arshin Kulkarni, who made a 146. Captain Ankit Bawane is currently batting with Harshal Kate and Maharashtra's score has gone past 350.
Ruturaj Gaikwad's IPL 2025 campaign was cut-short due to elbow injury
Meanwhile, Gaikwad's IPL 2025 campaign was cut-short due to an injury to his elbow, forcing MS Dhoni to step up and take over as the skipper. Until that injury, the right-handed batter had made 122 runs in five matches alongside a best of 63 with a strike rate of 150.61.
Nevertheless, the Super Kings created an unwanted record by ending up at the bottom of the points table for the first time in IPL history. Hence, wholesale changes are expected ahead of IPL 2026. All eyes will also be on MS Dhoni about whether or not he will return for the tournament, given his ever-increasing age.
The Super Kings are still the joint-most title winners, clinching five titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023.
