As
it
happened:

The

batter
steered
the
ship
in
the
Maharashtra
inning
after
their
early
stutters.
Maharashtra
was
put
into
bat
by
UP
and
was
struggling
at
123
for
3
after
29
overs.
Gaikwad
and
Azim
Kazi
put
on
a
146-run
partnership
after
that
and
in
the
end,
it
was
Ruturaj
who
demolished
the
UP
bowling
to
take
the
score
beyond
300.
He
also
scored
66.7%
of
total
Maharashtra
runs,
which
tells
the
impact
of
his
knock.

Seven
Sixes
in
an
Over:

Gaikwad
also
created
history
after
hitting
seven
sixes
in
the
49th
over
and
which
took
his
score
beyond
200.
He
hit
6,6,6,6,6,6,6
to
UP
bowler
Shiva
Singh.
The
left-arm
spinner
was
put
under
the
sword
as
Gaikwad
smashed
seven
maximums,
one
of
which
came
in
a
free
hit
as
well.
43
runs
were
scored
in
that
over,
which
is
a
record
in
cricket
history.
