Uthappa was amazed by Sudharsan for maintaining a classic batting style and also scoring races at a fast pace.
“The limit is the highest as possible. If this (Sudharsan IPL performances) is not a test for us, then we are turning a blind eye to an immense talent. It is rare to have that talent and this consistency, while maintaining its attack rate so healthy. It shows that in the Cricket, if there is a way of playing and is sure of its game that can achieve (much) of the YouTube channel with the journalist Jarrod Kimber.
“The most beautiful thing about Sai Sudharsan is that he uses the ramp and the reverse sweep very wisely. They are mostly his exit shots from the prison and when he does it suddenly he is at the forefront of each rapid bowling player,” Uthappa added.
The 2007 World Cup acclaimed Sudharsan as a player of every format for India.
“We will praise Sai for what he is doing, but the human side of striving to improve his game is immense. That is why he is a unique format player from once to generation,” he said.
