Indra has shown Perfect Susano and we know that he inherited Hagoromo's chakra so....
CES is more than enough to break through the sand and get close to Shinki. He doesn’t even control that much sand.
Let's face it. It was down to Shikadai, Mitsuki, Shinki and Sarada. She beats Shikadai neg diff. She would also beat Mitsuki if sage mode was restricted and Shinki is featless.
In conclusion: Sarada solos

Restricting Mitsuki is not very fair.

I can't imagine Sarada beating Shikadai.
What penetrative attack does she have that would deal with Shinki’s sand?
Shinki has shown Iron Sand and puppetry, low diffed ChoCho and we know that he's Gaara's protege so...
This is enough sand to form a shield

Don't forget he can also fuse his Iron Sand with his puppets and create this

And once he levitates high enough using his sand, Sarada will have no way of reaching or harming him except with kunai or shuriken which are naught against Iron Sand

I also doubt CES can destroy Iron Sand considering Sakura's superior CES (compared to Sarada) landed hits on Sasori's presumably superior (compared to Shinki) Iron Sand and failed to destroy it which we can scale back to Shinki and Sarada's case

sakura was definitely begging sasori's iron sand
