Talking about the toss and defeat after the match, Rituraj said," We conceded 50- 60 runs. The pitch was relatively grueling when we were batting before but after it was batting friendly. Dew had made the situation genuinely delicate. In the last match too, we were surprised to win the match by a big margin.
There are some things that are out of our hands. “ We could have maundered better in the first innings. In the last two matches we tried well to score 200-210 but it wasn't easy to score on this pitch. Indeed scoring 180 runs on this pitch would have been short. The big problem is that Chahal is out of the field due to injury. Where you wanted a gate in a match, there were only two bowlers there.
The baits fell before in the match due to medicine. There are four further games to go and we will surely make a comeback." Rituraj Gaikwad made a big statement about coin toss". I've rehearsed winning the toss during practice," he said. But it does not help me in the match. To be honest, when I go to the toss, I'm under further pressure.”
Rituraj is doing well in this season of IPL. He has scored 509 runs in 10 matches and with this he has overhauled Virat to take the top spot in the race for the Orange Cap. He has now come the loftiest run- arranger this season.
