Sai Sudharsan played the role of a senior statesman to perfection in Gujarat Titans' clash against Rajasthan Royals. In the absence of Shubman Gill, the onus was on the left-hander to give his side the perfect start in their chase of a daunting 210. Sudharsan did exactly that, scoring a fine half-century at the top of the order.
Set a target of 210, Sudharsan opened the batting with Kumar Kushagra in the absence of Shubman Gill. The left-hander set the tone with a six over third man and manned most of the strike. After a sedate start, Sudharsan started picking boundaries at regular ease.
Gujarat got 56 in the 6 overs before Sudharsan shifted gears. The left-hander welcomed Ravindra Jadeja with a boundary, following it up with a boundary and a six off Riyan Parag.
Sudharsan only went from strength to strength after. He struck a few more boundaries before being dismissed for 73 off 44 balls.
