Chennai Super Kings batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, who emerged as one of the star players of the team, has reacted to speculations of his relationship with Marathi actress Sayali Sanjeev.

Ruturaj and Sayali's interactions on social media led people to speculate that the two of them were in a relationship. Responding to the rumours, the batsman mentioned in a sarcastic manner that only a bowler can take his wicket and not anybody else. His post, which has been translated from Marathi, read, "Only bowlers can take my wicket, that too clean bowled. Not anyone else. And whoever wanted to understand, have understood."

Sayali Sanjeev is a famous Marathi actress, known for her role of 'Gauri' in the Zee Marathi Serial ‘Kahe Diya Pardes.' Ruturaj Gaikwad, meanwhile, played a key role in the CSK's victory in their last few matches of the 13th edition of IPL despite the team's poor performance in the initial part of the tournament.
