After the match, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had been struggling for runs, was seen chatting with Virat Kohli.

After Ruturaj scored a half-century against Gujarat Titans at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Sunday, netizens were quick to credit Kohli for his words of wisdom,

Having won the IPL's orange cap in 2021, Gaikwad suffered from terrible form since the start of this season, failing to notch a single big score for his side.

Subsequently, Chennai Super Kings had also failed to win a single game in IPL 2022 before they finally got the better of RCB a few days ago.

The pair of Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad were snapped having a chat with each other, and as soon as Gaikwad redeemed himself against GT,

Ruturaj managed to score 73 off 48 balls to help CSK get off to a good start, but they lost wickets at regular intervals after having been sent out to bat first,
