A specialist opener in white-ball cricket, Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to click in his maiden outing at the coveted No. 4 spot but came good in his second match with a hundred here and he said he did not find it too difficult to adjust to his new role.

India have been served well by Shreyas Iyer in ODIs at No. 4 but with the Mumbai batter unavailable due to injury, the team management entrusted Gaikwad with the job to build the innings and he did it with aplomb, hitting his maiden century in the second ODI against South Africa on Wednesday.
