Sai Sudarshan lauds Shubman Gill

The Gujarat Titans (GT) duo of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan have played a significant amount of cricket together and have known each other for a considerable time. Hence, when discussing Gill, Sudarshan mentioned his belief and how he has managed to tackle every situation. 

"The biggest thing I admire about Shubman Gill is that belief to comeback," said Sai Sudarshan on Star Sports. 

Gill, who is now the captain of the Test and ODI team, has been a consistent contributor to Indian cricket. Moreover, his successful captaincy in England will always remain a cherished memory in the hearts of cricket fans. With the ODI World Cup 2027 approaching, Gill's responsibilities will increase, and so will the pressure. 

I was a bit more free: Sai Sudarshan

Sai Sudarshan played an incredible knock of 87 runs in the 2nd Test match against the West Indies. He hit 12 boundaries and batted with confidence throughout the game. While speaking to the commentators, he opened up about his mindset while batting and how everything worked out in his favor. 

"It was a good contribution, a good partnership between me and Jaiswal. Hopefully, we'll have longer partnerships and get a big score. Definitely, I wasn't thinking about getting runs, so I was a bit more free, expressed myself, took time rather than rushing things. I didn't try to make things happen. Grateful for whatever I've done, but there's always something in the mind to make a lot more, happy with the runs, but would want to make more," added Sudarshan.
