Sachin Tendulkar left dazzled with Sai Sudharsan's knock in IPL Finals, 'Sai was a treat'

Gujarat Titans set the tone in the IPL 2023 final with an exemplary display of batting in the first innings against the Chennai Super Kings. Riding on Sai Sudharsan's scintillating batting, the Titans breached the 200-run mark as they set up a 214-run target for CSK. The score would mark as the highest ever to be achieved in an IPL Finals. His superior innings also earned some plaudits from some of the cricketing greats.

Mumbai Indians' mentor Sachin Tendulkar has been following the IPL pretty closely and the Indian cricket legend has offered his advice to the youngsters on multiple occasions. He took a note of Susharsan's game and took to Twitter to heap praises on the 21-year-old. Tendulkar tweeted, "Tonight, Sai was a treat to the eye! Well played @sais_1509!"

It remains to be seen whether the Chennai Super Kings can manage to pull off a record run chase as rain have interrupted the gameplay in Ahmedabad once again. A further inspection will be carried out at 11:30 PM IST.
