CSK head coach Stephen Fleming said he couldn't be happier for Ruturaj Gaikwad after his performance in IPL 2021. Fleming called Gaikwad an "absolute superstar" and added that the Ruturaj-Faf du Plessis partnership was "one of the real reasons" behind winning IPL. The 24-year-old became the youngest-ever Orange Cap winner in IPL history after scoring 635 runs this season.
