Hardik Pandya, the captain of Gujarat Titans, has expressed his belief that Sai Sudharsan, a promising young cricketer, will make a significant impact in franchise cricket in the next two years. Pandya has also stated that Sudharsan has the potential to succeed at the international level and represent India in the future.
The young cricketer has been making waves in domestic cricket with his impressive performances, and Pandya’s endorsement is a testament to his talent and potential. If Sudharsan continues to develop and impress, it is possible that he could soon make his debut for the national team and fulfill Pandya’s prediction.
Sai Sudharsan was named the Player of the Match as Gujarat Titans secured a comfortable six-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in a recent IPL 2023 match held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In the match, Gujarat Titans were set a target of 163 runs for victory, and the 21-year-old left-handed batsman played a crucial role in achieving the target.
Sudharsan top-scored for his team with an unbeaten 62 off 48 balls, hitting four fours and two sixes along the way. His impressive performance helped Gujarat Titans secure the win with ease, and his award as the Player of the Match is a testament to his contribution to the team’s success.
On Tuesday, Gujarat Titans secured their second victory in the ongoing IPL 2023 season. After the match, Gujarat Titans captain, Hardik Pandya, expressed his appreciation for Sudharsan, who played a significant role in their win, during the post-match presentation ceremony.
During the post-match presentation, Hardik Pandya praised Sai Sudharsan for his excellent batting performance, stating that he has been batting exceptionally well. He gave credit to the support staff and Sudharsan himself for his hard work over the last 15 days, which has resulted in his success.
Pandya said, “He (Sai Sudharsan) has been batting terrifically. Credit to the support staff and to him as well. The amount of batting he’s done in the last 15 days, all the result you see is all his hard work. Going forward, if I’m not wrong, in two years, he’ll do something great for franchise cricket and eventually for India cricket as well.”
During the chase of 163, Gujarat Titans struggled in the powerplay, reaching 54/3 by the end. Nonetheless, Sai Sudharsan led his team’s fightback with support from Vijay Shankar, who scored 29 runs off 23 balls, and David Miller, who remained unbeaten on 31 runs off 16 balls.
