What happened
B. Sai Sudharsan, in an interview, discussed how he translated an improved IPL run for Gujarat Titans into better habits in Test cricket. He stressed that confidence in batting should grow through process and match situation, not through panic when runs are scarce.
Sai Sudharsan also said a hundred against Royal Challengers Bengaluru became a turning point even though Gujarat Titans lost that match. According to Sai Sudharsan, the innings helped the team gain momentum and improve batting confidence in later games.
Background and earlier position
Sai Sudharsan spoke about missing months of cricket after a rib fracture. He said breathing was difficult during recovery, but the enforced break gave him time for mental preparation, visualisation, and maintaining batting feel.
Sai Sudharsan also addressed the pressure around strike rates in T20 cricket. He argued that batting approach should depend on the match situation and on giving the team the best chance to win, rather than on chasing one fixed number.
