Gaekwad believes that his biggest strength is to adapt to any situation in the game. He said, ‘My strength is to play offensively or in accordance with the situation. Sometimes the team has to make sure they get out of a difficult situation. I can adapt to the offensive and defensive positions, which I think is my strength. While playing under Rahul Dravid, Gaekwad said, “There are limited opportunities on this tour but I look forward to learning as much as I can from this tour.” The team has experienced players and I will get a chance to collaborate with Rahul sir again. The last tour of India A was almost a year and a half ago, so it was an opportunity to meet and talk to him (Rahul Dravid) once again. So it’s more than just performance and scorecard stats.
