Meanwhile, Gaikwad's retention looks certain given the Maharashtra batter guided CSK to the fourth IPL title. Ruturaj scored 635 runs in IPL 2021 with an average of 46.61, including seven fifties and one hundred.
The Indian Premier league is going to be a 10-team affair from the next season and as per BCCI rules, each team is allowed to retain a maximum of four players.
