Ruturaj Gaikwad dropped from Sri Lanka T20I series: Team India was selected for the Sri Lanka tour on Thursday, July 18. The Indian cricket team is going to start the Sri Lanka tour from July 27, for which Ajit Agarkar and company have announced the squads for the T20 and ODI series. Many surprising decisions were seen in the squad selected for this tour. Some players have made a surprise entry, while some were also ignored. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who captained Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, has also not been selected for the Sri Lanka series. Ruturaj has not got a place in both the T20 and ODI teams. Former Indian player Krishnamachari Srikkanth has taken a dig at Ruturaj not being selected in the T20 team.

Krishnamachari Srikkanth advised Ruturaj Gaikwad to score more runs

Ruturaj Gaikwad took full advantage of the opportunities he got in the T20 matches in the recent Zimbabwe series and also played some excellent innings. Despite this, he did not get a place, while Shubman Gill, who captained the series, has been selected in the squad as the vice-captain for the T20 matches to be held in Sri Lanka. This is why Krishnamachari Srikkanth seems to be angry.

On his YouTube channel, Srikkanth said, “Ruturaj Gaikwad is a player to keep in T20. Rutu should score more runs and the selectors should look at him, because not everyone has good luck like Shubman Gill.”

Ruturaj's T20 career has been great for Team India
