Gaikwad earned his way back into India’s ODI squad for the first time since 2023 after impressing in the India A series against South Africa A, where he scored 117, an unbeaten 68, and 25. However, the young batter couldn’t carry that form into the opening ODI in Ranchi, managing only 8 runs off 14 balls.
Virat Kohli walked in and looked confident right away. He began his innings with a big six off Lungi Ngidi and kept the scoreboard moving. Jaiswal, meanwhile, could not convert his start into a bigger score and was dismissed for 22 after struggling to find rhythm.
