Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill applauded Sai Sudarshan after his brilliant performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday. With fine death bowling by GT, pacers Umesh Yadav and Spencer Johnson in particular helped the side secure a thrilling six-run win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The right-hander claimed that beautiful bowling by the spinners helped the Gujarat franchise in the game. He further applauded Sudarshan’s crucial innings in the pressure situation.

“The way the boys kept their nerves as the dew came in was excellent. The way our spinners bowled kept us in the game at all times. It’s all about keeping your nerves. He’s a been a revelation for us. We just wanted to build the pressure and wait for them to make mistakes. The crowd is one thing, they have always come, whether it is a day game or a night game, and shout to all the fans who have come here to to support us. I thought that was a good score but we definitely left at least 15 runs there, it was difficult to hit those short balls because the wicket got a bit slow towards the end,” Gill said in the presentation after the match.

When he came to the match, MI chose to bowl first. Gujarat Titans were largely kept quiet by Jasprit Bumrah (3/14) and Gerald Coetzee (2/27) and struggled to score at a good pace. Sai Sudharsan (45 in 39 balls, with three fours and a six), skipper Shubman Gill (31 in 22 balls, with three fours and a six) and Rahul Tewatia (22 in 15 balls, with two fours and a six) scored with useful knocks to take GT to 168/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing 169, MI lost Ishan Kishan (0) and Naman Dhir (20 in 10 balls, with a four and six) early, reduced to 30/2. A 77-run stand between Rohit Sharma (43 in 29 balls, seven fours and a six) and Dewald Brevis (46 in 38 balls, with two fours and three sixes brought MI back into the game. In death overs, pacers Spencer Johnson ( 2/25), Mohit Sharma (2/32) and Umesh Yadav (2/31) performed brilliantly, leaving MI six runs short. Hardik Pandya could score only 11 runs in four balls on MI return.

Young Indian left-handed batsman Sudarshan was named Player of the Match for his brilliant performance.
