Ruturaj Gaikwad To Lead Maharashtra In The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ruturaj Gaikwad has been appointed the captain of Maharashtra for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament. Ruturaj has shown tremendous potential by scoring runs with ease in various conditions in T20 cricket. His experience will lead the Maharashtrian team later this month.
Maharashtra is pooled in Elite Group A, and will commence their campaign with a match against Tamil Nadu in Lucknow. The team has a healthy blend of both youngsters and senior players. Naushad Shaikh has been named as the new vice-captain of the team as Rahul Tripathi suffered a groin injury while playing in the IPL. Veteran batter Kedar Jadhav, along with talented players Mukesh Choudhary and Satyajeet Bachhav, also provides strength to the squad.
Also, after another impressive IPL season, Ruturaj Gaikwad will be playing on the domestic circuit. With his experience in captaincy and the expectation of bringing the team together, strategizing in tough games will hopefully come to pass. Maharashtra Cricket Association looked forward to the team’s good performance overall under his leadership.
