Bengaluru, April 24

Sai Sudharsan's majestic hundred cruised the Gujarat Titans to a massive 205/3 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League on Friday in Bengaluru.

Sudharsan kept the momentum going beyond the field restrictions, finding boundaries regularly and ensuring the scoring rate never dipped.

However, RCB's bowlers pulled things back in the final five overs, conceding just 50 runs, although Jason Holder collected 18 of those in the final over.

After winning the toss, RCB captain Rajat Patidar opted to field first. However, the Gujarat Titans seized control early on.

GT openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan built a formidable foundation, clinical in their approach to the powerplay.

The duo took GT to 57/0. While Gill contributed a steady 32 off 24 balls, including two fours and a six, the spotlight remained firmly on Sudharsan. Gill and Sudharsan completed their 100-run stand for the opening wicket in the 10th over.

Suyash Sharma managed to claim Gill's wicket in the 13th over after being smashed for a six for 32, bringing Jos Buttler to the crease.

Sudharsan reached his half-century in just 33 balls before accelerating further to register a spectacular century. Sudharsan's ton came off 58 deliveries, laced with 11 boundaries and 5 massive sixes.

By the 15th over, GT had reached a commanding 155/1. RCB's bowling unit struggled to contain the flow of runs. Josh Hazlewood provided a much-needed breakthrough for RCB, removing after a brilliant hundred in the 16th over, bringing Washington Sundar to the crease.

Washington Sundar kick-started the innings in style, launching a massive six off Josh Hazlewood to get the scoreboard moving, while Suyash Sharma delivered a superb 17th over, conceding just four runs.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar backed it up with another tidy over, conceding just five runs and removing Jos Buttler for 25, effectively slowing the Gujarat Titans' momentum.

GT's innings began to lose momentum as Josh Hazlewood delivered a clinical 19th over, conceding just eight runs and tightening RCB's grip on the game.

Jason Holder opened up his arms in the final over, hammering two sixes and a boundary to power the Gujarat Titans past the 200-run mark.

Sai Sudharsan is the future of Indian batting! 58-ball century with 11 fours and 5 sixes, that's incredible composure for a young lad. GT's batting depth is unreal - even when they lost momentum, Holder finished strong. RCB need a miracle from their top order now. 🏏✨

Great innings by Sudharsan but GT would be slightly disappointed - they were 155/1 after 15 and only managed 205. That's just 50 runs in last 5 overs! RCB's death bowling was excellent, especially Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood. Suyash Sharma's over was brilliant too. If RCB can chase this, they deserve full credit. Kohli and Patidar need to step up!

Sai Sudharsan - take a bow! That hundred was an absolute masterclass. This is why I love IPL - young Indian talent getting chances and grabbing them with both hands. GT's batting lineup is just scary good. Jos Buttler played a sensible knock too. Hope RCB's batting fires, else this might be one-sided. 🤩

Impressive knock from Sudharsan! He's got a great future ahead. GT's batting depth is incredible - even after losing momentum, Holder smashed 18 in the final over. RCB's bowling attack looked a bit toothless in the middle overs, but credit to them for pulling it back. Let's see if RCB's batting can match this intensity. Should be a cracker of a chase! 🏏
