Mother as trainer, 21-yr-old from Tamil Nadu bats his way into big league
As Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan nonchalantly guided a 148-kmph thunderbolt from Anrich Nortje over the wicket-keeper’s head for a boundary to bring up his second IPL half-century Tuesday, Sunil Gavaskar couldn’t hold back his praise on air.

As Gavaskar was singling out Sudharsan, especially for the manner in which he handled Nortje’s pace — whom he hit for two sixes and one boundary — it was further validation of the growing stature of the wonderboy that Tamil Nadu cricket is excited about.
