Opening the batting for GT, Sai Sudharsan hammered 48 runs off just 23 deliveries with the help of nine glorious boundaries. Although he missed out on a well-deserved half-century, the stylish southpaw completed 2000 runs in T20 cricket with the scintillating knock. 

Sudharsan, who has showcased remarkable consistency for the Titans this season, took only 54 innings to breach the 2000-run landmark in the shortest format. Thus, he became the fastest Indian batter (in terms of innings) to bring up the milestone.
