Sensational ball striking by skipper Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Sherfane Rutherford and a magnificent four-wicket haul by Mohammed Siraj were the highlights as GT crushed a reckless SRH at their own den by seven wickets on Sunday.

While I admire Sai's dedication, I feel the article focuses too much on individual performances. Cricket is a team sport - would love to hear more about how the entire GT squad is gelling together!

That Washington Sundar cameo was 🔥! 49 off 29 when the team needed it most. Shows how deep GT's batting lineup is this year. Excited to see how far they can go!

As a left-arm spinner myself, I really look up to Sai Kishore. His control and variations are next level. That delivery to dismiss Klaasen was a masterclass in setting up a batsman!
