Sai Sudharsan is now a roving generator of spots. Jaiswal and Gill have his partnership for go-to man across formats.” Sudharsan kept up a fantastic run in the recent IPL season and helped the Gujarat Titans get to the Eliminator. He finished as the highest run-scorer in the tournament, ahead of the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit.
The 23-year-old Sudharsan has been making waves and adding some new shots to his arsenal. Just last year he was withdrawn from a match for scoring too slowly-but this time he really stepped it up. From a strike rate of 130, it now went to 170, all with style intact. Speaking about his development, Uthappa said, “One name that comes to mind is Sai Sudharsan. His progress over the last couple of years has been amazing.
In the 15 matches Sudharsan played, he amassed 759 runs with an average of 54.21 and strike rate of 156.17, including one century and six fifties.
He was more than worthy of an orange cap and the award for Emerging Player of the Season due to his solid performances. Outside league play, he also showed his mettle for Ranji, with 304 runs at an average of 76.00 in just three games.

After showing such consistency, Sudharsan was selected for India’s squad in five crucial Tests in England. Uthappa feels he has even more to offer. He is the Orange Cap holder now. That is a really good thing to have. I also see him as one of the future Indian stars along with Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, with many more young talented prospects coming up. So many young players are out there exploding onto the scene, and it looks like the pool will only keep growing.”
