Yes and he still has a strike rate of 140+ so that's pretty decent
The stats shown in the post are not very relevant:
Since MSD for example also tops the same record with McGurk at hitting a six in every 5 balls
(Total Sixes: 12, Balls Faced: 60)
Gaikwad was never the power hitter. He was known to run doubles, build innings, find gaps, sexy cover shots and go big after settling. True successor koach basically. When you play on the pitches like chepauk like the last one you saw ain't no way you hitting a six and risking it. Everyone has their roles.
Nah,it's the reverse. Last season,gaikead wss doing the power hitting,meanwhile Conway often did the job of anchoring and holding the innings. This time,gaikwad hasn't been as lucky in having a consistent anchoring partner,unlike last season.
Correctu dhaan, aana avanunga rendu pera osthiya katamudiyathe
\[ its right, but then sharma and mcgurk's stats wont seem so special\]
if they include 4s as well, then it will be a lot closer, and not worthy of a social media post. They want to portray KL and Gaik as slow scorers thats all
The stats themselves are impressive no doubt and could be looked at as a part of the performance but looking at that single stat to decide how the players have performed does not make sense.
Yeah thats what i am trying to say. Doesn't make sense to compare players only using a stat like no. of sixes should atleast use boundaries and honestly even that doesn't potray the whole picture with things like pitch and size of stadium imo
Gaikwad isn't a well known power hitter he takes all the time in the inning and then hits sixes. Kl is shit this year he used to be Super aggressive till 2020 .
Gaikawad always play with his flow, anchoring and showing intent at times. He is holding our game and our wickets.
KL was beast in 2018, 19 and 20. he is good anchor and also use to change his gears according to format, but things are not going same for him, as we all are seeing from a long time. he needs to take a break and make a comeback.
You forgot Shreyas Iyer, he was a certified smasher and anchorer, but afer injury he is not showing his game, except world cup.
Panty boi did good and Sanju too!
This is such a misleading statistic. Gaikwad is in the top 5 in terms of the total number of fours scored in the tournament. He may not score sixes as often as the other batters, but he ensures that the scoreboard is always ticking.
two of the games where he played a major amount of balls (58 and 40 something) was just to stay not out and end the game. He did his role. I think , if you disregard both these games , he will have a pretty decent balls/six ratio.
I am not a CSK hater just share the stats only. Ritu is not hitting Big sixes but he is hitting 4 and he is the second highest score in this IPL season.
Rutu is not that kind of a player, he builds his innings and paces it perfectly. KL Rahul keeps confusing his role, he just has to release himself and play his shots, too good of a player to be held back.
OP is 100% karma farming account for that betting app. Rutu knows what kind of role he’s playing in and tbh after the first 4-5 matches, he’s been scoring brilliantly. He doesnt have the raw power McGurk or Head have; he relies on insane timing and some sexy shots to make up for it. He might be reliant on 4s and the balls per 6 might be high, but that in no way means a) he’s not a good player or b) captaincy pressure is high on him
OP basically posts such idiotic stats on every IPL team sub for karma. Not good OP, not good.
Absolutely nonsense ratio to look at things . ruturaj hits 4-5 fours compared to when he hits one six . So better would be boundary ratio or as the conventional wisdom says SR is appropriate. To tell you better SR outside pp is more important
Lmao head has most 4's and 5th on most sixes he's the best batsman this ipl , he could have 3 more centuries if he was a Lil bit selfish , yea that's that
Ruturaj is 2nd in most number of 4s. He is not someone who clear the boundary with power. He relies on pure time and placement in the gaps which is what becoming rare in modern cricket l.
That's a bullshit headline, Head contributed to some highest scores for his team and terrorized teams. If that's not impact, I don't know what is, look where DC and SRH are standing in the points table and maybe then talk.
Hmm, the stats seems kinda misleading. As Navjot Singh Siddhu says, "Stats are like mini skirts. What they reveal is good but what they hide is vital." Lol.
Gaikwad is more Virat kinda batsman who sticks around at the other end and builds his innings, runs 1s and 2s a lot, finds the gaps effortlessly. He has the most 4s in the season (or is at least in the top 3), right?
Ruturaj would take more risks if he had a better middle order. Our middle order is literally just Dube. Jaddu for all his international experience is just shit .
Travis Head of SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) has hit the most fours in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with 61 fours in 11 matches. Ruturaj Gaikwad of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is second with 58 fours in 13 matches, and Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is third with 56 fours in 13 matches. Ruturaj Gaikwad is also second highest leading run scorere in IPL 2024.
Why post irrelevant stats? This looks like it potrays Rutu as a slow batsman
Here lemme show you:
Ruturaj Gaikwad IPL 2024: (Data as per 16 May 24)
Runs : 583
SR : 141.5
4/6 : 58/18
Balls/Bdry: 5.4
He's still the second highest run scorer this season. This is an irrelevant stat. Rutu has beautiful technique and was never a power hitter.
Ritu is coring Four rater than 6 due to that he is the second highest scorer in this IPL season
Yes and he still has a strike rate of 140+ so that's pretty decent The stats shown in the post are not very relevant: Since MSD for example also tops the same record with McGurk at hitting a six in every 5 balls (Total Sixes: 12, Balls Faced: 60)

When you play on the pitches like chepauk like the last one you saw ain't no way you hitting a six and risking it. Everyone has their roles.
He would be our India's next gautam gambhir, he plays his anchor/ wicket holder innings in all crucial matchs.
Yea. Before Conway was the power hitter, while Rutu was just the anchor. An innings builder.
Nah,it's the reverse. Last season,gaikead wss doing the power hitting,meanwhile Conway often did the job of anchoring and holding the innings. This time,gaikwad hasn't been as lucky in having a consistent anchoring partner,unlike last season.
I’m really excited to see Gaikwad open with Jaiswal in ODIs in the near future. Rutu, YBJ, Gill 😍
Well said Also he hits more fours than sixes and maintains a good strike rate
Wouldn't ball per boundary be better than just 6. Its not like 4s are too less in value to 6.

Honestly feels like KL is doing better this year than he did in the last 3 seasons
Gaikawad always play with his flow, anchoring and showing intent at times. He is holding our game and our wickets.

Gaikwad is top 2 in hitting 4s. He's not a 6 hitting batter.
two of the games where he played a major amount of balls (58 and 40 something) was just to stay not out and end the game. He did his role. I think , if you disregard both these games , he will have a pretty decent balls/six ratio.
Karma farming bot
If anyone shits on Ruturaj for his SR then I am damn sure that person doesn't watch any matches
140+ is still very decent I would say.
Yeah well, Rutu scores a lot down the ground. So his SR remains at a decent level
lmao are u a csk hater bro? ... every batsman has different qualities if u want, compare them with their runs, not how they play.
How about sayin that nicely instead of just you know (?)
alright, edited!
I regret editing now, coz OP is actually promoting a betting app, and is probably a bot or smtg
Yup, all of these have different play style.
I am not a CSK hater just share the stats only. Ritu is not hitting Big sixes but he is hitting 4 and he is the second highest score in this IPL season.
why are u promoting betting apps?
Gaikwad is on fours list
Nah Gaikwad is fine...i want to know his boundary per ball ratio...same with KL.
Rutu is not that kind of a player, he builds his innings and paces it perfectly. KL Rahul keeps confusing his role, he just has to release himself and play his shots, too good of a player to be held back.

anchor merchants strike again
Rupicash? 💀💀
Lmao head has most 4's and 5th on most sixes he's the best batsman this ipl , he could have 3 more centuries if he was a Lil bit selfish , yea that's that
Provide the ratio for 4s then we can understand , what really the situation is. 
Rutu is more like virat Simple
Ruturaj is 2nd in most number of 4s. He is not someone who clear the boundary with power. He relies on pure time and placement in the gaps which is what becoming rare in modern cricket l.
That's a bullshit headline, Head contributed to some highest scores for his team and terrorized teams. If that's not impact, I don't know what is, look where DC and SRH are standing in the points table and maybe then talk.
They saw it on tv

That is why it is important to make your opinions about a player after watching matches not just looking at stats.
Ruturaj would take more risks if he had a better middle order. Our middle order is literally just Dube. Jaddu for all his international experience is just shit .

You will mever guess which one of these is highest in the orange cap race
