That’s Their Strength: Sunil Gavaskar Lauds CSK Opening Duo, Gaikwad And Conway
Chennai Super Kings: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has weighed in on the formidable batting prowess of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), singling out the opening duo of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway as potentially the best in the tournament.
Gavaskar's observations come on the heels of a scintillating performance by Gaikwad and Conway in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, where they emerged as the top two run-scorers for the Chennai-based franchise. With Gaikwad's aggressive right-handed strokes complementing Conway's stylish left-handed finesse, the pair set the stage ablaze, consistently providing CSK with explosive starts. While the New Zealand southpaw amassed 672 runs at a strike rate of 139.70 in 16 matches, the Indian right-handed batter smashed 590 runs at a strike rate of 147.50 in as many games.
Reflecting on CSK's batting might, Gavaskar said to Star Sports, "That's been their advantage over the years. All these years, they have always had batters at the top who can take the attack to the opposition from the first ball itself, and then they have got the finishers as well."
