Gujarat Titans batter B. Sai Sudharsan has credited his fabulous 47-ball 96 in the IPL final against Chennai Super Kings to a calm approach to his batting, saying his focus on the mental aspect of the game paid dividends.
Sudharsan's strokeful 96, laced with eight fours and six sixes, took GT to 214 for four and raised hopes of back-to-back title. But Ravindra Jadeja smashed a six and a four in the last two balls to help CSK chase down the revised target of 171 from 15 overs in the rain-affected summit clash on Monday.
“I felt a lot of pressure in the last game. I came to the realisation that being more calm is much better and I have the ability to do much better. I felt a bit more calm in this game,” Sudharsan said at the post-match press conference.
