The Gujarat Titans were under a lot of strain during their encounter against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium after losing three quick wickets in Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, and Hardik Pandya. They needed someone to take charge of the situation as they chased a target of 163 runs, and youngster Sai Sudharsan excelled. The 21-year-old batsman helped GT win their second straight game in IPL 2023 by scoring 62 runs off 48 deliveries to get them out of a tight spot.
Hardik Pandya, the captain, praised the cricketer’s performance and said that if he can continue to bat as well as he is right now, he may do great things in franchise cricket and eventually Indian cricket over the coming few years.
“Sai Sudharsan has been batting superbly,” someone said.
Both he and the support team deserve praise. All the results you see are the consequence of the amount of batting he has done over the past 15 days. In the future, if I’m not mistaken, he’ll do something fantastic for franchise cricket and eventually for Indian cricket as well, according to Pandya, who made the announcement during the post-game ceremony.
Importantly, Sai Sudharsan also won over everyone in GT’s matchup with the Chennai Super Kings in the season opener. He entered the game as an impact player after Kane Williamson injured himself and was forced to withdraw from the game. He played a 22-run knock before Rajvardhan Hangargekar defeated him. He is now fifth on the IPL Orange Cap 2023 list and has a chance to stay there, if not improve.
I wasn’t under any pressure; I was just doing the proper calculations.
Following his game-winning strike against DC, Sai admitted he wasn’t under any time constraints and was instead considering his alternatives. He also stated that he intended to play the game thoroughly and win it from there.
“I was considering what had to be done correctly. I wasn’t under any pressure; I was just doing the proper calculations. I was considering the best course of action because it was a little low and slipping through. I intended to play the game thoroughly. Surviving the storm before it hit was more satisfying. It was the highlight for me, Sai Sudharsan added, adding that it was extremely challenging at first.
