Reacting to the same, Gaikwad recently took to his Instagram handle to share a picture of him being clean bowled. The Pune-born wrote a message in Marathi, which roughly translated to that a bowler can only take his wicket. The message is said to be tacitly directed to the media outlets.
“Only bowlers can take my wicket, that too clean bowled. Not anyone else. And whoever wanted to understand, have understood,” wrote the Maharashtra cricketer.
