Anil Kumble says of Sai Sudharshan’s match-winning knock against Delhi Capitals that he “built the innings perfectly.”

An IPL expert from Jio Cinema named Anil Kumble praised Sudharsan’s hit, saying, “He looked like a very organized player.

The young batter from Tamil Nadu, Sai Sudharsan, stepped up as the defending champion Gujarat Titans won their second straight game of the IPL 2023 on Tuesday (April 4) night at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Hardik Pandya’s team beat the Delhi Capitals by six wickets with 11 balls to spare. Sudharsan’s unbeaten 62 off 48 balls, which included four fours and two sixes, was a big reason why.

The 21-year-old batted with David Miller, who stayed unbeaten with 31 runs off 16 balls. Rashid Khan, a spin bowler for the Titans, did what he does best and took 3/31 in 4 overs. Mohammed Shami, a fast bowler, also took three wickets, but he cost a lot, giving up 41 runs. Good at both fast and swinging bowling. He came into the first game as a player who would make a difference, and he did. He had a cameo.”

“It was three down and all the big stars were out today. Shubman Gill was gone, [Wriddhiman] Saha got out, and his captain, Hardik Pandya, also got out. Vijay Shankar and Sudharsan, both from Tamil Nadu, got together and formed a partnership,” said Kumble. “Gujarat has always had the air of ‘we’ll limit you to 160 and get that’ about them. If they have a player with a big impact, it makes it even easier for them. Sai Sudharsan put together a great innings.”

Parthiv Patel, who is also a Jio Cinema IPL expert, was also very impressed with Sudharsan. “Sudarshan has lived for 21 years. “For the past two years, he has been playing first-class cricket,” Patel said.

“If you watch him bat, you’ll think he’s a very good player in terms of technique. He doesn’t try to hit the ball with his hand. There are some advantages to him having played last season, and when you’re on a winning team, your mindset changes. You know you have players who can make space and run a game, which gives you some time. The way he hit the ball tonight showed a lot of maturity, which will help him in the future.

Jio Cinema IPL expert RP Singh, on the other hand, said that Delhi’s choice of bowling attack for the game was not perfect.

Singh said, “I think the bowling choice was wrong for this.” “They didn’t have many fast bowlers. Mitchell Marsh was their fourth fast bowler against a team with a lot of fast bowlers. I thought they should start with [Anrich] Nortje at first,” he said.

“The captaincy was a mistake, as Nortje took wickets in his first over to show how powerful he was. That shows that you thought you needed to keep playing when you should have stopped right then. The best bowler should be given his job at the right time. So, they made a mistake by picking too many pacers and then not putting their best pacers in the right order,” Singh said.
