Chennai Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, on Saturday, hit his maiden IPL hundred versus Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi. He reached his landmark with a gigantic 108m six on the last ball of CSK’s innings.
The CSK opener continued to hammer runs off some indisciplined bowling by RR bowlers. At the other end, Sakariya accounted for Ambati Rayudu’s wicket.
