RCB Vs GT, IPL 2026: See Best Photos From Indian Premier League Match 34 At Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium
Sai Sudharsan produced a magnificent 100 that was an anti-thesis of T20 batting, but still strong enough to carry Gujarat Titans to a competitive 205 for three against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Sudharsan’s 58-ball knock, his third hundred in the IPL, was the cornerstone in GT’s trend-defying effort with the bat. The left-hander totally dominated the 128-run alliance with his opening partner and captain Shubman Gill. The 24-year-old Tamil Nadu batter, who also became the fastest to score 2000 IPL runs along his innings, made 46 runs in Power Play, and then reached fifty off 33 balls in style, clobbering Romario Shepherd for a six. The next fifty runs came at a faster clip -- 24 balls -- and it was a phase where he nullified RCB’s spin duo Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma. He fell at an individual score of 100. But his departure, though, helped RCB pull back a bit in the death overs.
