This is a performance from two batsmen who make their job look very easy. The word βelegantβ rolls off the tongue easily. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan were a joy to watch.

If Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma represent the brutality of the opening batting in modern T20 batting, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are the poster boys for making batting look visually appealing even if they are brutal in their own right #IPL2024 #GTvCSK
