Ruturaj Gaikwad will get first ODI fifty in 803 days, final milestone got here earlier than World Cup 2023
IND vs SA: Coming in at no. 4, Ruturaj Gaikwad got here up together with his second ODI 50, that might give him a whole lot of confidence.

So, after scoring 8 runs in the first encounter in Ranchi, the 28-year-old brought up only second fifty of his ODI career. You Can Follow the IND vs SA 2nd ODI Here
2nd ODI fifty for Ruturaj Gaikwad
On a Raipur wicket that was playing all kinds of tricks, Ruturaj came up with a brisk 50 from 52 deliveries, and forged a valuable fifty-run stand with Virat Kohli as well; at a time when India were in a spot of bother at 62/2. What make this milestone even more special is the fact that this 50 came after a gap of two years.
Solid List A record
Prior to this encounter, his only 50 came vs Australia in September 2023, where he scored 71 vs Australia in a winning cause. In short, it has been 803 days, since he last scored his ODI 50. But then such had been his form in the IND A vs SA A ODI series, where he score a ton and a 50, that he could not be overlooked anymore.
In fact, he has an impeccable LIST A record, where he has scored 4542 runs in 90 matches, at an average of over 56. That also includes 17 tons and 18 fifties. His strike-rate has been excellent too — 100, without taking much risks in the middle.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli too brought up a fifty soon after Rutu’s exploits. That happened to be his 76th in the format. The 37-year-old too looked to capitalise on his form, returning with 74 and 135 in the last two matches.
