WATCH: Ruturaj Gaikwad left puzzled after bus door shuts in his face ahead of IND vs SA 1st ODI

Indian cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad was left confused after bus door shut in his face ahead of IND vs SA 1st ODI.

A funny incident involving Ruturaj Gaikwad gained widespread attention on social media on Sunday. A fan captured a humorous video of the opening batter being denied entry into the team bus ahead of the IND vs SA 1st ODI, leaving Gaikwad visibly confused.

In the viral video, Gaikwad, dressed in his training kit, can be seen walking towards the team bus. However, upon reaching the gate, the bus driver, seated inside, promptly closes the gate, leaving Gaikwad stranded outside and looking around for clues about what’s happening.

India claims 8-wicket victory in IND vs SA 1st ODI

Gaikwad faced a challenging start in the first ODI, managing only 5 runs in his international test outside Asia. However, Indian bowlers, particularly Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan, delivered exceptional performances, restricting South Africa to a mere 116 runs. This total marked South Africa’s lowest ODI score at home.

In the chase, young debutant Sai Sudharsan made an immediate impact by hitting a boundary on the first ball he faced in ODI cricket. Gaikwad, too, contributed with a four off a free hit from pacer Wiaan Mulder. However, Gaikwad’s innings was short-lived with Mulder dismissing him in just for 5 runs in 10 balls. Despite this, Sudharsan and Shreyas Iyer’s aggressive half-centuries guided India to a convincing 8-wicket win, securing a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
