In his innings, the left-handed batsman hit five two-quarters and two sixes, showing his varied shots. After starting the game with three singles, Sundar attacked Simarjeet Singh in the final of the power match, hitting him two quarters and two sixes to score 20 in the game.
He hit six of the last ball, bringing his memory of the famous shot against Australia’s historic Gabba Test in 2021. Sundar hung Simarjeet’s Fine Legs Shit Shit Shit Six, which was very similar to his shot against Pat Cummins on Day 5 of the Gabba Test. The all-around player scored 82 runs in India’s historic victory in Australia and scored four wickets on Australian land, which was also his Test debut.

Sundar’s 90-time partnership with Captain Shubman Gill only had just 56 goals on the third wicket, and his team recovered after 16/2 of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Thanks to Aniket Verma’s impressive efforts on Deep Point, he barely missed his first IPL for half a century, ending the game in 49 innings.
However, when they praised the GT’s star player for his amazing shot, he was impressed by social media.

After the performance, Sundar mentioned that head coach Ashish Nehra promoted him to fourth place and he was happy to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
“The captain told me to hit the ball as deep as possible and wanted to finish the game for my team. This is the trend in Hyderabad over the past few years, the wickets have become a little better and therefore easier to chase 160-170. I know if that helps. Is the coach helpful for me.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans managed to chase 153 in just 16.4 matches, with contributions from Shubman Gill (61* off 43) and Sherfane Rutherford (49 fold 29) earning their third straight win this season.
