CHENNAI: Some knocks transcend the win-loss binary. Chennai Super Kings’ five-star triumph late on Monday night captured the public imagination but did not take the sheen off Gujarat Titans’ left-handed batter Sai Sudharsan’s scintillating innings. It was an exhibition of skillful batting and immense self-belief.
Dogged by strike-rate issues in earlier matches — including Qualifier-1 where the GT team management decided to retire him out — Sudharsan had gotten off to another sluggish start in the final before he managed to successfully change gears mid-innings.
