    Missing Gill Was A Big Setback For GT, But Sudharsan Did The Heavy Lifting: Ashwin

    Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin opened up on Sai Sudharsan's knock for Gujarat Titans in the absence of skipper Shubman Gill and said the way Sudharsan started his innings showed that he understands his strengths well.

    Sudharsan produced a batting masterclass of 73 off just 44 balls, but it wasn’t enough as the Titans lost wickets at important stages to suffer a heartbreaking defeat in their first home game of the season at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday evening.

    "Sai Sudharsan knew that Shubman wasn't playing today, so he had to do the heavy lifting himself. The way he started showed that he understands his strengths. He used pace well, guiding the ball towards third man, and then played some good cover drives on the front foot. He took on Jadeja immediately after he came into the attack, made use of the pace, and followed it up with a slog sweep," Ashwin said on JioStar.
