Gujarat Titans (GT) batter Sai Sudharsan stole the show with his masterful knock in the IPL 2023 final against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 29. The left-handed batter walked out to bat at No.3 after Shubman Gill's dismissal in the seventh over. While Sudharsan started off slowly, he upped the ante once he got set. Sudharsan played some breathtaking shots during his stay at the crease and propelled his team into pole position with a 96-run kock in just 47 deliveries. He finished with a wonderful strike rate of 204.26, hitting six maximums and eight fours. The talented youngster missed out on a well-deserved hundred as he was out LBW to Matheesha Pathirana in the final over of the GT innings. A number of fans took to social media, lauding Sai Sudharsan for his brilliant innings in the big match.
