Sai Sudharsan’s power game: Opening a scientific approach to Southpaw’s T20 kick | Cricket News

New Delhi: At the beginning of the season, Gujarat Titans (GT) Opener Saisudharsan told Timesofindia.com how he works extensively on the technical aspects of his game to meet the demands of T20 jack without losing his natural game style. Southpaw had mentioned the mentality, but he had kept his cards close to his chest about his private business.Last year, Sai Sudharsan reached Shanon Young, a team in Australia with a team in India. Glenn Maxwell, Marnus Labuschagne, Babar Azam and Jake Fraser-Mcgurk, a power-kick coach, Young, Southpaw’ı Melbourne’daki Cricket Performance Laboratory invited.“The bat begins on the ground and his hands are quite low. He produces a lot of power from his backward shooting.

A few days ago, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Sai Sudhasan reached a triple score with six directly on the head of Bows Kuleep Yadav. He finished the chase with six. He is currently leading IPL 2025 running graphics with 617 running. It’s not just the number of running; He scored them. The strike rate is 156.99. This season, IPL’s career (68) and Sixes (20) (20) hit the most.Although he plays an aggressive cricket brand, Sai Sudharsan does not lose its shape. Delhi showed all his shots against Capitals. He pulled, cut, drove, sweep, and the small door played several Dinkyal ramp shoots on both sides.“A lot of people now, be it fraser-mcgurk or jos buttler, have started Holding the Bat Higher. Through the Downswing, You Create A Powerful Swing. Play.So the game is perfectly suitable for all three formats, “he says.ShapeYoung has a height because it does not lose shape while hitting the stable base of Sudharsan and Big Sixes in the T20s.“He really has a stable base and I was surprised when he came in; quite long. I don’t know the real height, maybe six feet two inch [just over six feet]. The interesting thing about it is the bats. When it produces power through backlift, its base is fixed and does not have to do anything else to produce this power. So it can do it from a really stable base, and then uses the floor really well, which causes a really fluent bat release, Young explains.

Young explains that SAI has the highest recorded wing opening of any professional player they have in the laboratory. “This means that the distance between their lying arms is much higher than the height of the height. It also helps the leverage and energy that shakes the bat.”WorkSai Sudhasan reached Young with the help of former Surrey teammate Kobe Herft and Laurie Evans. Young and his team prepared a presentation supported by data and biomechanics. The opener spent three hours with his older brother Sai Ram and his mother Usha Bhardwaj.“We didn’t do much with him technically. We talked about how he used the floor. Here, as part of the bat fabrication process, we have a balance plate that allows us to understand how much force passes through the ground. So when you understand the science of power, it is about how much momentum we produce. Most of the biomechanical analysis and science show that the largest force we can produce is to use the stored energy from the ground.Who is this IPL player?“So the analogy I use, ‘imagine a spring. If you stand in a spring and take your feet out of the spring, what happens to the spring? So the power kick is very similar; Before coming to the point of contact, the energy we stored in our body is the energy that is the energy transferred at the point of contact, “Young explains.

The strong and balanced lower body position of the player who hit a ball provides a foundation to produce power and maintain control.

What is the stable base?

Young says why Sai looks so elegant even when hitting big shots, because Unlike Fraser-McGurk, Travis Head or Abhishek Sharma, it doesn’t play high-risk games.“Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Fraser-McGurk-Light-risk jack. The returns are high, but the risk is also high. Now, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan in GT are playing traditional jacking shots, but they minimize the risk of having a high impact. “What is BPI?During Sai’s laboratory visit, Chris Hall, who worked in the bat form in the laboratory, identified several problems with five bats with SAI.

“I think five bats, they all had beautiful bats. They were all used in various stages. When professionals arrive, we have some new bats, they have favorites and we change our bats, so they’re all swinging effectively in the same way.“So through these five bats, there were small differences in weight and way. This is what we do in the performance laboratory, we’re actually replacing the bats with the same BPI.”“BPI is a Balance Point Index.

It is a registered technology developed by Shanon Young’s Cricket Performance Laboratory to objectively measure how a bat is swinging and feeling, and to match a player’s technique and power.

What is BPI (Balance Point Index)?

“Traditionally, when you have a bat, let’s say that everything is on weight, there will be a certain weight and you will say ‘I like it’ and you do metrics. Most of the bat things we do is still old school, still pound or imperial. But the only thing we can do as jack players and coaches is to choose a bat on weight, and you know how they look, how people hit them for ping and all these things. Now what we do is found a BPI meter that allows us to put an objective measurement of a cricket stick.

“What happened was the arrival of Sai, and he hit all the bats and measured the exit speed, launch angle, how much floor force, bat speed, and back -slip angles. We caught the pile of data and went into five wounds and then showed the data of the person who did the best.

The distance from the fingertips of one hand to the other’s fingertips when the arms reach horizontally. In the jack, a larger wing opening can help the leverage and bat release.

What is wing opening?

“Then we took the other four bats and made them exactly the same as the performance of them. I took the bats, changed them and left them back to the hotel the next day. I think he left the next day, so I turned the bats faster than normal.”While sitting on the IPL 2025 running graphics, Sudhasan not only exhibits form, but also makes a challenging situation for the future of the Indian kick: someone who blends data -oriented preparation with traditional elegance.
