India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad is looking forward to competing for Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk "where it all started" for him as the IPL goes back to its traditional home-and-away format from the next season.
The IPL has been held at only a few venues since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 but with the pandemic under control, the cash-rich league will return to its old format in which each team plays one home and one away match against all teams.
Gaikwad was with the India A side for the unofficial ODIs against New Zealand A in the city, played a few days back.
