MI vs GT Match: Why is Sai Sudharsan Not Playing Today IPL Match?

For the fifth match in a row, Sai Sudharsan isn’t featuring in the GT playing XI for today’s match against MI. Surprisingly, Sudharsan is also not included in the list of five substitute members. The left-handed batsman has amassed nearly 200 runs in just 5 matches, including a couple of half-centuries. However, the Gujarat Titans have recently shown a preference for hard-hitting batsman Abhinav Manohar in their lineup who has been a common face for the last 5-6 games. Here’s what GT skipper Hardik Pandya said at the toss,

“We will bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, dew could have an effect, so chasing could be ideal. We realise the importance of every game, just need to stick to our plans and play good cricket. It’s important to learn the lessons from your losses, rectify and don’t repeat it. You do make mistakes in such a long tournament. God has been kind with our injuries. Same XI tonight”
