Cricketer reaction

Former South African pace bowler Dale Steyn feels India cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad has come a long way in the last two years, adding that it's not easy to come at the top of the innings, face some of the best bowlers in the world and score consistently.

While Gaikwad didn't have the best starts in the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa, the 25-year-old contributed a half-century in the third game at Visakhapatnam, and together with Ishan Kishan (54), the duo played a match-winning innings that helped the hosts to remain alive in the series.
