Badrinath blasts Gaikwad after CSK lose again to PBKS

Believe it! Former CSK batter Subramaniam Badrinath blasted Ruturaj Gaikwad after the IPL 2026 loss to PBKS in Chennai, rejecting the slow pitch excuse. He said CSK's 209 should have been enough, but the chase never felt under pressure. Still, he backed Gaikwad's cautious knock, saying the thin middle order left him with no easy choice.
