Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Sudharsan makes only 13 in 162 total, Panchal still in favour

The fourth clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw the top Sudharsan scoring only 13 off 11, leaving the GT to just a 162-run total. However, the team’s former skipper, Priyank Panchal, still wished him to play for the team in the matches ahead.

Taking to his social media account on X, Panchal said that Sudharsan looked like a million bucks last season, but something has been off about him since the England tour.

His statement recommended to judge in all formats of the play-offs.

”Maybe he needs to go through an all-format domestic grind like Devdutt Padikkal and rediscover his form”. The comment box also flooded in favour of the posted tweet, with some saying, “13 runs doesn’t change the fact that he’s been GT’s most consistent ‘Road Warrior.’ Marco Jansen just won the tactical battle this time Marco Jansen’s opening spell was clinical, and even a “Ponting-level’ work ethic can’t always save”.  Some few felt anguished, saying, “He and Nair were not utilised properly. The team mgmt is to be blamed, whose confused mindset took toll on the form and confidence of these two talented players.” The same comment also noted, “What use is the form of Devdutt if it doesn’t pave his way back again into the national squad.”

Meanwhile, the GT VS PBK clash favours the latter, as the team of the Skipper Shreyas Iyer well controlled their opponent to 162 runs. Cooper Connolly’s 62 ensured the team’s timely performance, bringing the victory to a 10-run difference.

PKBS need 4 off 8 balls in the meantime.
