Ruturaj Gaikwad: Success in cricket depends on the abilities of the player. But the toss before the match starts depends on luck. But, while luck is far away for that player, misfortune is very close. No captain has ever lost the toss more than once in modern cricket. But this player lost the toss nine times. Although it is strange to hear.. the Chennai player has created a new feat as the captain who lost the toss 9 times in this IPL.
Rutu Raj Gaikwad is leading the Chennai team in this IPL season. He is known as Dhoni's disciple. Under his leadership, the Chennai team continues to be at the fourth position in the points table with 5 wins and 5 losses. Chennai team lost to Punjab in the home match on Wednesday night. Punjab team won the toss in this match. Bowling was chosen keeping in mind the field. So the Chennai team had to bat first. 162 runs in 20 overs. Despite a good start, the Chennai team was limited to 162 runs after losing wickets regularly. Later, the Punjab team achieved the target with 13 balls to spare, losing just 3 wickets.
If the Chennai team had won the toss earlier in this match, the result would have been different. But, the Punjab captain won the toss and turned to bowling. In fact Chennai team captain Rutu Raj Gaikwad is not only now but he has lost the toss 9 times in the last ten matches. He won the toss only in the match against Kolkata last month. After that he lost consecutively. “It was like a nightmare for me. I am practicing the toss. However, it is becoming useless. So far I have lost the toss 9 times. I could not win the toss in the Wednesday night match. Actually, in the match against the Punjab team, we still had to score 50 to 60 runs. Manchu helped them in chasing. So they have a chance to win. I get stressed while tossing. Maybe that's why I lose. Trying to overcome this. However, it is not getting much result” said the Chennai captain. On the other hand, netizens are making funny comments on social media due to Ruthuraj's failure to win consecutive tosses.
