IPL 2024: The Batting Onslaught Was Of The Highest Calibre, Says CSK Head Coach Fleming
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming was in awe with the ‘high calibre’ batting display from the Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill and B. Sai Sudarshan, who unleashed an outstanding assault slamming centuries each to power host to a comfortable 35-run win over at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday night.
Gill hit nine fours and six maximums at a strike rate of 189.09 to hit 104, his fourth IPL hundred in Ahmedabad. On the other hand, Sudarshan, opening the batting after Wriddhiman Saha was ruled out due to a niggle, slammed five fours and seven sixes at a strike rate of 201.96 to make 103, his maiden IPL century.
Gill and Sudarshan had a 210-run opening partnership, which equals the record for the highest opening stand held by Quinton de Kock and K.L. Rahul, who added exactly 210 runs for the first wicket against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022.
