Top 5 highest scores by Ruturaj Gaikwad in IPL

Ruturaj Gaikwad made his IPL debut in 2020.

Ruturaj Gaikwad has emerged as one of the most consistent batsmen in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in recent years. He began his IPL career with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2020 and had his breakout season in 2021, scoring 635 runs for the franchise and winning the Orange Cap (most runs in the edition).

His consistent performances for the franchise earned him the CSK captaincy in 2024 after MS Dhoni stepped down from the role.

The Super Kings retained Gaikwad as their first-choice retention before the IPL 2025 mega auction and expect him to lead the batting lineup for years to come.
