IPL 2024: Sai Sudharsan Needs To Be Spoken About A Bit More, Says Graeme Smith
After Gujarat Titans: After Gujarat Titans’ B Sai Sudarshan slammed his maiden IPL century alongside fellow centurion Shubman Gill in the side’s 35-run win over Chennai Super Kings, former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith said the left-handed batter needs to be talked about a bit more in the cricketing circles.
At the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday night, Sudarshan, opening the batting after veteran wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha was ruled out due to a niggle, slammed five fours and seven sixes at a strike-rate of 201.96 to make a fantastic 103, his maiden IPL century.
He also shared a 210-run opening partnership with Gill, and equalled the record for the highest IPL 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. Sudarshan is now the fourth-highest IPL 2024 run-getter with 527 runs in 12 matches, averaging 47.91.
