IPL 2021 Highest Partnership record: CSK’s middle order comprising of Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, and MS Dhoni hasn’t fired in a single game in the ongoing season but the Yellow Army is on top of the points table winning eight out of ten games and that indicates how good Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been with the bat in the IPL 2021.
IPL 2021 Highest Partnership record: The Chennai duo also completed 400+ runs each in the ongoing season on Thursday against Sunrisers Hyderabad and are now in the top five positions in the race of Orange Cap. With 435 runs in 11 innings, Faf du Plessis has climbed up to third spot surpassing Punjab Kings KL Rahul while Ruturaj Gaikwad has surpassed Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Glenn Maxwell to sit at fifth position with 407 runs in 11 innings.
How young Ruturaj Gaikwad sealed an opening slot in Chennai Super Kings? The 2020 season in UAE proved out to be the most forgetful year for the Yellow Army as they failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time in the history of the IPL. The three-time champions team tried different opening partners in the 2020 edition before offering Ruturaj Gaikwad an opening slot at the place of Shane Watson, who announced his retirement later. The Maharashtra batter slammed three fifties in six innings he got to play in the 2020 edition and sealed an opening slot with Faf du Plessis.
