IPL 2024 CSK Vs GT: Sai Sudarshan is one of the most talented youngsters in India. He has been constantly performing for Gujarat since his debut. Who can forget his innings in IPL 2023 against CSK?
He was in a similar mood today when he knocked everyone out of the park. He started slowly but built up his innings brilliantly. He was playing second fiddle to Shubman Gill in the powerplay.
But as soon as the powerplay was over, he decided to take charge. And by the time he reached his first IPL century, he had a strike rate of 200, the same as Shubman Gill on the other side.
IPL 2024 CSK Vs GT: Maiden IPL Century!
Sudarshan scored 103 runs in just 51 deliveries. This inning is even more impressive when you know that Sudarshan was on 28 runs in 23 deliveries by the end of PowerPlay. But as soon as Powerplay was over, Sai picked up his inning.
The left-handed batter scored 75 runs off the next 28 deliveries in the middle overs phase where everyone else slows down. He got his century in 50 deliveries and did that in style as well.
Record Breaker Sai
With this sensational century, Sai also reached a landmark that might not be broken for a very long time. Sai became the fastest Indian batter to reach the 1000-run mark in IPL history.
This is his second year playing IPL and it took him only 25 innings to reach this milestone. Sudarshan has thus broken the previous joint-best record set by Sachin Tendulkar and Ruturaj Gaikwad (31 innings), to become the top-ranked Indian in this club.
