Sai Sudharsan becomes top Indian uncapped scorer in final, 'If Shub don’t get you, Sai will', fans say

IPL 2023 Final: Gujarat Titans (GT) young middle order batter Sai Sudharsan showed the world his immense talent by taking his side to a mammoth total of 214 after his blistering knock against four time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Sai scored 96 runs off just 47 balls, hitting 6 sixes and 8 fours while striking the ball at over 200. The young Tamil Nadu batter has been one of the finds of the tournament but was criticized for his strike rate before the match. The 21 year old has played eight matches this season, with an average of 51 and a strike rate of over 140. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN

With this special knock, Sai also became the highest uncapped scorer in Indian Premier League Finals history. He overtook Manish Pandey, who make 94 runs against Punjab Kings in 2014. Sudharsan also became the second youngest batter to make more than 50 runs in an IPL Final at the age 21 years and 226 days.

I am dumbstruck by the quality of strokeplay from these young Indian batters. On a big day, Sai Sudarshan showed us the incredible talent residing within him.

The Tamil Nadu boy has a good future ahead of him

Sai Sudharsan, from Tamil Nadu, made his name through TNPL then did well in domestics & standing tall against CSK in the big final.

A huge future ahead, Sai 👏

Sai Sudharsan's TNPL contract is bigger than his IPL contract.

Tonight he showed why he's so highly rated in the domestic league at the age of just 21. Take a bow, Sai. pic.twitter.com/YU6xdMLEeM
