Sai Sudharsan struck a stunning half-century for the Gujarat Titans, who amassed 214 for 4 in their 20 overs in the final of the Indian Premier League. 

The 21-year-old Sudharsan was unfortunate to miss out on a century, dismissed by Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana in the final over of the innings for 96 off just 47 deliveries faced. 

Sudharsan struck six sixes and eight boundaries, associating in partnerships of 64 with Shubman Gill and 71 with Hardik Pandya.

Pathirana took two wickets in that final over, but was expensive, giving up 44 runs in his four overs. 

Maheesh Theekshana, the other Sri Lankan playing in the final conceded 36 off his four overs, with no wickets to his name. 

For the Titans, all their batsmen contributed towards the total, Wriddhiman Saha also scoring a half-century with 54 off 39 balls. 

Gill, the leading run scorer of the tournament, scored 39 off 20 deliveries, while captain Pandya, hit two sixes for a quick-fire 21 off 12.
