A fresh debate has erupted in Indian cricket after Ruturaj Gaikwad's disappointing return to the international arena. Playing his first ODI in 16 months, Ruturaj Gaikwad could manage only 8 runs off 14 balls in the ongoing three-match ODI series opener against South Africa in Ranchi.
Gaikwad's innings ended when his Chennai Super Kings CSK teammate and South African batter Dewald Brevis pulled off a spectacular catch in Ranchi. However, the former cricketer and popular commentator Aakash Chopra blamed the Indian team management for Ruturaj Gaikwad's flop comeback.

Instead of opening, which is the role he has mastered and built his reputation on, Gaikwad was surprisingly pushed down to number four, where he batted only twice in his career and failed to make any impact.
