I believe in starting from zero every game: Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been named Player of the Match for his fabulous knock of 99 runs and has also shared a few words in the post-match presentation about his comeback knock. "Felt good and it has come in a winning way, this knock feels more special.

There will be times where you will get one or two good deliveries and you will be unlucky here and there, with the kind of support staff you have and all the people around, you have that backing and confidence with you going," said Ruturaj Gaikwad as quoted by Cricbuzz.

"Personally I do not like to believe in form, irrespective of what you scored in the last game you have to start from zero. I believe in starting from zero every game and that is what has helped. I like to play more pace as it brings the best out of me," he added.

"Not many bowlers who bowl that fast and that short, so whenever they bowl short in the first few balls, obviously I have the upper hand in the last few balls. Lot of thought process in it.

I was telling him (Devon Conway) to take his time. I have played here as this is my home ground, I know this wicket and I was just chatting with him to keep going," he further added.
