IPL 2023: Sai Sudharsan looks like a very organised player, says Anil Kumble | Cricket News – Times of India

<p>Sai Sudharsan’s half-century and a whirlwind cameo by David Miller powered holders Gujarat Titans to a six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. </p>

<p>Chasing 163 for victory, Sudharsan (62*) and Miller (31*) put together an unbeaten stand of 56 to steer their team home with 11 balls to spare. </p>

<p>Delhi batsmen never really got going despite skipper David Warner’s 37 and a quickfire 36 from Axar Patel as they posted a below-par total. </p>

<p>Mohammed Shami gave away runs at the start before he found his groove with the two key wickets of Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh. </p>

<p>Warner fell to Alzarri Joseph as he chopped on to his stumps. </p>

<p>Joseph bowled at a lively pace and dismissed Rilee Rossouw for a first-ball duck. </p>

<p>Rashid Khan claimed the wicket of Sarfaraz Khan who struggled to a 34-ball 30. </p>

<p>Coming in at No. 7, Axar took on the bowlers with three sixes and two fours in his 22-ball innings but could not haul Delhi to a big enough total. </p>

<p>Shami and Rashid took three wickets each to restrict Delhi to 162/8. </p>

<p>Gujarat were in early trouble after an excellent spell of fast bowling by Anrich Nortje, but Sudharsan stood firm in his team’s second straight victory. </p>

<p>Nortje removed both Gujarat openers, including bowling Shubman Gill for 14. </p>

<p>Left-arm quick Khaleel Ahmed then got skipper Hardik Pandya caught behind for 5. </p>

<p>But Vijay Shankar replaced Ireland fast bowler Josh Little under the new “impact player” rule and joined Sudharsan in the middle to revive the chase. </p>

<p>Marsh broke the dangerous-looking stand of 53 after he trapped Shankar lbw for 29 but Sudharsan and Miller completed the job. </p>

<p>Miller, who replaced the injured Kane Williamson in the XI, played his part with a 16-ball blitz. </p>
