Shred all the media-trained shopistication, in his elements

On Tuesday, he shred all the media-trained sophistication to be in his elements. And it was in his elements that he had butchered the RCB attack a couple of hours earlier and found success - for himself and his team. There was little reason for him to show up otherwise.

Kindly advise what they mean by "shred all media-trained sophistication" and also "In his element" in this particular paragraph.
