Gaikwad Trains for Duleep Trophy 2025 With West Zone
Ruturaj Gaikwad, a CSK captain, is getting ready to play in the Duleep Trophy cricket tournament for the West Zone team.
He couldn't play in the IPL 2025 because he got hurt.
During the IPL, he did not play very well.
But his teammate, MS Dhoni, thinks that he will be a great player for the team when he comes back.
This year, the Duleep Trophy will be played between different zones.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is training for the 2025-26 Duleep Trophy, representing West Zone.
Gaikwad missed IPL 2025 due to injury, scoring 122 runs in five matches.
