New Delhi [India] March 27 : Ahead of clash with RCB, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad shared his thoughts on playing the match and going up against Virat Kohli.
"Really looking forward to playing against RCB, especially with Rajat (Patidar) as the new captain. Immediately when they announced Rajat as the captain, I messaged him and wished him good luck. We have been friends for a while now, we know each other really well, and obviously, RCB has been one of the strongest teams. They have done really well every year now. And whenever Virat Kohli is in the opposition, whenever he is playing, it is always a clash to look forward to. He's been doing it for a really long time now, consistently for RCB and for the country as well. So, it is always a great match, and after Mumbai Indians, this is the second match we always look forward to." Ruturaj Gaikwad told Jio Star.
