Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Sai Sudharsan praised bowler Mohammed Siraj for his performance after the team’s victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), stating that his “attitude and energy” transforms the entire squad. When Siraj returned to Chinnaswammy Stadium, this time wearing the GT colours, he was unstoppable. On Wednesday, he troubled his old team with an incredible three-wicket haul, which helped them win by an easy eight wickets while chasing 170.
“I only believe in Siraj bhai,” Sudharsan stated in a video that was shown on the official IPL website and included batting coach Parthiv Patel. He is revolutionary. His energy and attitude transforms the team as a whole. I liked it. He is a game-changer, so I had a hunch he would have a fantastic game.
After hitting a brilliant 49 in 36 balls with his bat, Sudarshan remarked, “It feels fantastic.” Contributing to the team and earning those two points is always fantastic. They performed admirably in the first two games. Beating the side that is playing well gives us a lot of confidence, and we aim to keep playing the way we do.
Sudharsan has amassed 186 runs at an average of 62.00, a strike rate of over 157, and two half-centuries in three games, making him the tournament’s second-highest run scorer. He has a top score of 74. According to Sudharsan, the atmosphere on the team is like that of a family. It does not feel like an IPL set-up,” he added
When the game started, GT won the toss and chose to field, putting RCB to bat first. A 52-run partnership between Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma (33 in 20 balls, with five fours and a six) and a 46-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Livingstone (54 in 40 balls, with a four and five sixes) and Tim David (32 in 18 balls, with three fours and two sixes) helped RCB reach 169/8 in their 20 overs after former RCC player Mohammed Siraj (3/19) reduced them to 42/4. Prasidh Krishna (1/26) and Sai Kishore (2/22) both displayed remarkable ball skills.
GT lost their captain Shubman Gill (14) early in the run-chase, but they won with 13 balls and eight wickets remaining thanks to outstanding performances from Jos Buttler (73* in 39 balls, with five fours and six sixes), Sai Sudharsan (49 in 36 balls, with seven fours and a six), and Sherfane Rutherford (30* in 18 balls, with a four and three sixes).
After two victories and a defeat, RCB now has four points and is in third place in the standings. GT has the same win-loss record and points as them, placing them one slot lower.
How Sai Sudharsan Maintains His Shape While Power-Hitting
I believe I have contributed to many of the game’s technical features. It is not a simple task. I believe that because, while attempting to fulfil the demands of T20 cricket, I’ve worked hard to maintain my physical condition and natural playing style.
Sai Sudharsan Breaks Down His Technique: How Maintaining Shape Helps Improve Strike Rate
It all depends on how you target the bowlers you feel comfortable with and how well you plan. To improve your efficiency, it’s more important to have a certain mindset about what you want to achieve against a certain bowling setup and bowler.
Were you ever tempted to change your game?
Yes, without a doubt. But I knew I shouldn’t ever be altering my fundamentals. I should instead make a few minor tweaks and changes to meet the demands of the changing game. All of us must change with it. Along the way, I’ve made a few tweaks—not to alter the fundamentals, but to make little modifications.
With Jos Buttler in the Mix, the Team Still Shows Great Faith in You
To tell the truth, I was overjoyed to learn that I was opening. Additionally, they gave me that duty, which gave me a little more confidence, especially when we had an explosive opener like Jos Buttler. Knowing that we had a lot of hitting depth and experienced hitters pursuing me gives me a great deal of confidence and freedom. As a result, I believe I now have greater freedom to express myself.
I just concentrate on improving every day at the end of the day; the rest will work itself out,” Sai Sudharsan stated quietly and confidently. “As long as I stay true to my process, the performances will keep coming.” It’s obvious that Sudharsan is making a lasting impression with his composed demeanour and developing maturity.
