GT vs CSK IPL 2023: Why is Sai Sudharsan Not Playing Today’s IPL Match? Check GT Playing 11

Interestingly, the Gujarat Titans (GT) are once again not playing in-form batsman Sai Sudharsan for the crucial Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) being hosted at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After winning the IPL title during their debut season last year, the Gujarat Titans have once again performed amazingly well so far in IPL 2023 where they managed to win 10 out of their 14 league stage matches.

GT vs CSK IPL 2023: Why is Sai Sudharsan Not Playing Today’s IPL Match?

After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya stated that Sai Sudharsan is not part of the starting GT playing 11 for this GT vs CSK match on Tuesday. Interestingly, he is part of the substitute members list out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the match. The decision is quite astonishing, considering Sudharsan’s remarkable performance in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He displayed his skills by scoring 47 runs off just 36 balls and forming an impressive partnership of 147 runs with Shubman Gill. Throughout IPL 2023, Sudharsan, the talented left-handed batsman, has accumulated an impressive tally of 223 runs in six matches, including two half-centuries. It will be interesting whether he comes out as an Impact Player in the second innings or not.

“We will bowl first. We heard dew will come, so we want to know what exactly to chase down. We were told to relax after getting into the top-2, but we didn’t want, want to stay focussed and play good cricket. We are a smart team, we don’t play only one way, we make sure to get the best out of the wicket and have adapted. Darshan Nalkande comes in place of Yash Dayal,” said Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya during the toss.
