NEW DELHI: Former India spinner Anil Kumble hailed Sai Sudharsan’s knock which led defending champions Gujarat Titans to their second straight win of the IPL 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday night, saying that the young batter from Tamil Nadu constructed the innings perfectly.
Rose to the occasion as defending champions Gujarat Titans recorded their second straight win of the TATA IPL 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday night.
Chasing a tricky 163 for victory against Delhi Capitals, the Hardik Pandya-led side won the contest with six wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare, thanks largely to Sudharsan’s unbeaten 62 that came off 48 balls and included four boundaries and a couple of sixes.
The 21-year-old put on 56 runs in the company of David Miller, who stayed unbeaten on a 16-ball 31.
Earlier, spinner Rashid Khan was at his usual best for the Titans, taking 3/31 in 4 overs. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami too accounted for three wickets but was pretty expensive, conceding 41 runs.
“He looked like a very organized player. Good against fast bowling, good against swing. He came into the first game as an impact player and certainly created an impact, he played a cameo.
Today, it was 3-down and all the big stars were gone. Shubman Gill was gone, Saha got out, and his captain Hardik Pandya got out. Both the Tamil Nadu guys (Vijay Shankar and Sudharsan) got together and put together a partnership,” said JioCinema IPL expert Kumble.
