"Sundar came. Sundar conquered,” GT posted on X, replying to Pichai's earlier comment questioning Sundar's absence from the playing XI.

Back in March, Pichai had replied to a fan frustrated with Sundar's regular omission from IPL sides, writing, “I have been wondering this too,” with a smiley emoji. On Sunday, Sundar answered the question with his bat.
Promoted to No. 4, the all-rounder smashed 49 off 29 balls, including five fours and two sixes, at a strike rate of 168.97. His aggressive knock pulled GT out of early trouble and helped seal a crucial win. He stitched a 90-run stand with captain Shubman Gill after the team lost two early wickets in the powerplay.
