The 25-year-old Gaikwad, who hails from Pune, had made his international debut in July 2021 in a 2nd T20I of a three-match series against Sri Lanka in Colombo, scoring 21 runs off 18 balls.

Gaikwad was a member of the India A squad which recently clean swept New Zealand in a three-match ODI series.

Gaikwad made his first-class debut for Maharashtra against Jharkhand in 2016. In his debut List A season in 2017, he was the third-highest run scorer in Vijay Hazare with 444 runs.

However, the right-handed batter came into the limelight with a sensational IPL season for eventual champions Chennai Super Kings in 2021 in which he scored 635 runs in 16 matches.
