Sai Sudharsan in elite company
Sai Sudharsan’s fifty against RR was his 5th consecutive fifty+ score in IPL matches in Ahmedabad. RCB great AB de Villers was the first batter to score five consecutive fifties at a venue in IPL, achieving the record at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Sudharsan’s last 5 scores in Ahmedabad were 82, 63, 74, 103, and 84*.
Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler added 80 for the 2nd wicket. Sudharsan and Buttler, playing together for the first time, have already added fifty or above in 4 of the 5 matches of the season. Sudharsan’s Tamil Nadu teammate smashed a rapid 36 off just 20 balls. Rashid Khan (12 off 4) and Rahul Tewatia (24* off 12) applied the finishing touches.
Jofra Archer (1/30) breathed fire in his first spell, accounting for Shubman Gill with a 147.7 kmph peach. Tushar Deshpande (2/53) and Maheesh Theekshana (2/54) were expensive in their four overs.
Rajasthan Royals – 159
RR were never in the chase, after losing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana in the first three overs. Only three batters – Shimrom Hetmyer (52), Sanju Samson (41) and Riyan Parag (26) – reached double figures.
Prasidh krishna was the pick of the bowlers for GT, picking 3/24 in his 4 overs. Shubman Gill used 6 bowlers and all of them picked up atleast one wicket. Rashid Khan’s (2/37) return to form was a pleasing sight for the table toppers.
