Rituraj Gaikwad wants to become a finisher

Rituraj Gaikwad emerged as the IPL's youngest Orange Cap winner with 635 runs, converting him to one of the stars in Chennai Super Kings in 2021. The young batter who has got the maiden call-up in the India team for its three-match T20 series against New Zealand, starting from Wednesday at Jaipur, has expressed that he wants to become a finisher. He has said in an interview, "I always have been focused on finishing games. I am used to that mindset and I try to do it in simple ways. I made a few adjustments in my batting according to the situation and it paid off. In the IPL, with one or two games left, Mahendra Singh Dhoni came to me and advised that as the game was under my control I must try to finish it. I also told him in the discussion that I want to become a finisher."
