Matthew Hayden calls them Gujarat Titans' "apex predators" and the super-powered batting unit of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have enjoyed feasting upon another hapless attack in their IPL title assault.
The Australian great has been helping hone the triumvirate in his role as batting coach with the Ahmedabad-based team, and they've all sworn by his positive work which helped them race to a win on Thursday that secures the Titans' top-two spot in the playoffs.
Against outclassed Chennai Super Kings, Sudharsan crashed 84no off 53 balls, for a fifth consecutive half-century, and shared in a 125-run first-wicket stand off 12.2 overs with captain Gill (64 off 37), a record-breaking seventh century stand between them.
Then Buttler came to the party at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, hammering 57no off 27 balls, with five fours and four sixes, to help rocket the Titans to a total of 4-229 that Chennai never looked remotely like challenging as they succumbed to 140 all out for an 89-run defeat, their heaviest in the IPL.
