Ahead Of England Tests, Sai Sudharsan Credits County Cricket For Teaching Him The "Basics"
Couple of brief stints in county cricket convinced Sai Sudharsan that "basics" are the most important part of batting, giving him immense confidence ahead of his maiden Test tour of England. Sudharsan batted like a dream in the IPL, racking up 759 runs at an average of 54.21 for Gujarat Titans. With his team losing the Eliminator to Mumbai Indians on Friday night, his focus shifts to red-ball cricket. The left-hander, who played for Surrey over the past couple of seasons, was expected to play the second India A versus England clash in Northampton from June 6 but is not sure if that is a possibility. The Test squad will leave for the United Kingdom on June 6. "I think I have played seven games in county cricket, so it gave me a great experience to be honest, it improved my batting multiple folds in terms of technique and in terms of basics to, it told me basics is the most important thing in batting. "So, I think it should help me and I will focus more on what I learnt and I will try and be aware and create those awareness before going into the series," said Sudharsan in response to a PTI query. He admitted that it would be tough to park the white ball habits right away but with the first Test scheduled for June 20, he has enough time to prepare for the English summer. "Definitely, after a long three months of white-ball tournament, certain things would have changed in your batting. I think focusing more on basics and bringing back those to red ball cricket will take some time, we will have some good time before the series starts. "In our mind, we were planning only to leave on the 4th from IPL, so we were not thinking about when to leave for India A or the Test team, but if that was the plan the Test team would have left on 6th, but now we will have to have a conversation and see how it goes," said the classy opener. Still have a lot to improve as a T20 batter Sudharsan turned heads with his silken strokeplay throughout the season in a format dominated by power hitters. His exemplary ability to find the gaps and rotate the strike helped him maintain a 150 plus strike rate. Shubman Gill and Sudharsan formed the best opening pairing of IPL 2025. Asked whether he expects to be picked in the India T20 squad after a stellar IPL, he said: "I mean playing for the country is obviously a dream for everybody, so I would love to do that, but I am not thinking on those lines because if you see about the season, I have a lot of things to improve as a T20 batter. "There are so many facets of the game or so many sectors I should improve when I play T20 again, so I am focusing more on that, of course, when I get an opportunity, I will give my best for the country," said the soft-spoken batter. On his best season of IPL, Sudharsan said it would not make up for the disappointment of the team not going all the way. "I mean it is good to see that I had a good season or I was consistent enough for my team, but I think when the job is not finished, you do not get that ultimate satisfaction when you get back to your home. "Definitely, there is a lot of disappointment in the environment because the way we played the first 12 or 13 games, which was fantastic to see as a group or as a team from outside even when you look at a season like this."

How Jasprit Bumrah's Lethal Yorker To Washington Sundar Became The 'Photo Of IPL 2025'
Last Updated: Jasprit Bumrah delivered perhaps the ball of IPL 2025 as Gujarat Titans' Washington Sundar 'bowed' to the greatness of Mumbai Indians pacer during the IPL 2025 Eliminator. From tattering at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table to reaching the Qualifier 2, Mumbai Indians have come a long way. But all of this would be of no meaning had Jasprit Bumrah not delivered that yorker. It was the night of Eliminator, after all. The loss against Gujarat Titans would have meant that Mumbai Indians would wait another year to bag their sixth title. But Bumrah, one of India's modern greats, came in clutch, keeping the Men in Blue in the run in the journey to the IPL 2025 finals. What did Bumrah do, you ask? Brought into the action by captain Hardik Pandya during the fourteenth over of Gujarat Titans' run chase, Bumrah was up against two set batters: Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar. After restricting the batters to three singles in his first three deliveries at a time when GT were flying to the MI target of 229, Bumrah bowled the ball of the night. It was a scorching yorker, one that left Sundar stumped. Bowled with precision and perfection, the left-handed batter tried to dig it out. But it was too little too late as the ball crashed onto the stumps travelling through Sundar's legs. The batter appeared to be bowing to the greatness of Bumrah as Sundar was left in an awkward pose. 'When you need him he's always there," Harsha Bhogle, sat in the commentary box, exclaimed. Bumrah did what Bumrah does best – a scorching yorker that zeroed in on middle stump and uprooted Washington Sundar! 🔥 Precision, pace, perfection. When he's on, no batter is safe. 💥💙 #Bumrah #MIvsGT #IPL2025 — Cricket for her (@coverdrivetoher) May 30, 2025 The Impact Bumrah gave only 27 runs in his four overs while scalping the solo wicket of Sundar. That solo wicket came at a time when Sudharsan and Sundar had weaved a magical partnership of 84 runs and were well on course to taking GT to Qualifier 2. Gujarat needed 59 off 27 with both batters cruising to the target before Bumrah decided to bring Mumbai Indians back in control of the proceedings. (Bumrah's death stare after the wicket / BCCI) Fans In Awe Understandably, the viewers were left in awe of Bumrah's 'let me do it myself" energy. 'Even the best bowler has an off day occasionally. I can't remember when Jasprit Bumrah last had one. It is a privilege to be on air when he bowls," Bhogle wrote on 'X'. 'I will watch this delivery again and again till the Qualifier 2. Jasprit Bumrah you have rocked my world," quipped a fan. 'Jasprit Bumrah plays for my favorite IPL franchise. It's an honour, arrogance, privilege and flex." When quizzed about the timing of bringing Bumrah back into action, Pandya candidly said this. Question: How do you decide when to bowl Jasprit Bumrah?Hardik Pandya said "It's very simple – Whenever you feel the game is going far". (Big smile) — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) May 30, 2025 MI Hold Nerves Exactly two overs later, Richard Gleeson put GT in a worrisome spot when the in-form batting powerhouse Sudharsan got bowled while trying to scoop one away. In the end, Gujarat fell short of the target by 20 runs and ended their IPL 2025 journey, losing the thrilling Eliminator to Mumbai. Mumbai Indians will now lock horns with Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, eying a berth in the IPL finals against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the much-anticipated encounter scheduled to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3.
