Overwhelmed by emotion after getting his maiden India call-up, batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad on Friday said he would be banking on his ability to adapt quickly when he tries to make an impression during the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.

Gaikwad, 24, is one of the six uncapped players named in the 20-member squad for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka next month. “I am just happy. Right from the moment I got to know about it, you know a journey comes in front of your eyes from where you started and where you wanted to reach...it’s a pretty emotional feeling,” Gaikwad said.
