Ahmedabad: Gujarat Titans (GT) ke opener Sai Sudharsan ne Jos Buttler ki tareefon ke pull baandh diye after GT’s zabardast 7-wicket win against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Buttler ne sirf match hi nahi jeetwaya, balki apni unbeaten 97-run knock se sabka dil bhi jeet liya.
GT ki ye paachvi jeet thi tournament mein, aur iske saath hi unhone DC ko dethrone karke IPL 2025 points table ke top par apna kabza jama liya. Sai Sudharsan, jinhone khud 36 runs in just 21 balls banaye, ne kaha ki unhe Buttler ko dekhke bahut kuch seekhne ko milta hai.
“Wicket bilkul badiya tha batting ke liye. Pehle 6 overs mein ball kaafi achhe se skid ho raha tha aur bat pe achhi speed se aa ja raha tha. Bowlers agar achha ball daalte hain toh best tareeka hota hai timing pe focus karna. Main practice mein isi pe kaam kar raha hoon – ball ko perfectly time karna. Shot selection mein options nahi dekhta, jo ball milta hai ussi pe react karta hoon. Lekin preparation mein main alag-alag areas target karne ki practice karta hoon,” Sudharsan ne kaha.
Match ki baat karein toh Prasidh Krishna ki shandar bowling (4/41) ke dum par GT ne DC ko 203/8 tak hi rok diya. 204 ka chase karte waqt GT ko second over mein ek jhatka laga jab Shubman Gill sirf 5 balls mein 7 runs banake Karun Nair ke throw par run out ho gaye. GT ka score tha 14/1 in 1.4 overs.
Lekin Buttler ki calm aur confident batting ne poora match badal diya. 54-ball 97* ke sath unhone GT ko 204/3 in 19.2 overs tak pahucha diya. Yeh win GT ke liye ek statement tha!
Ab GT ka agla muqabla hoga April 21 ko Eden Gardens, Kolkata mein defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ke against. Fans eagerly wait kar rahe hain is epic showdown ka!
