Even though Shubman Gill is the Gujarat Titans’ (GT) captain and poster child, Sai Sudharsan, his opening partner, has really taken centre stage in the current IPL 2025. The 23-year-old is a serious candidate for the Orange Cap race and has been one of the tournament’s top hitters thus far. With 273 runs from five games at an average of 54.60 and a strike-rate of 151.66, he is now Gujarat’s top run scorer.
Parthiv Patel, the squad’s assistant coach, has mentioned how Sudharsan has put in a lot of effort to advance his career and succeed for the team. According to Parthiv, the young batter keeps things simple to bring out the best in him and does not get easily distracted by anything. The assistant coach also thinks that his constant performances for the team are due to these attributes.
After seeing him over the past month or two, I believe he puts in a lot of effort at work. That he is experiencing these kinds of outcomes doesn’t surprise me in the least. We occasionally had to pull him from the nets. He doesn’t complicate things. It is easy to get carried away in this day and age when you are required to play at a specific strike rate or hit a lot of sixes. However, he supports the idea that he knows his game. He performs consistently because of this,” Parthiv stated at a press conference.
GT’s successful run continues.
The Titans have had a fantastic start to the season, and with their fourth victory of the year against the Rajasthan Royals, they are now atop the standings. Once, Sai Sudharsan defeated the match’s star with an amazing 82 off 53, which was sufficient to win him Player of the Match.
The 2022 champions have only lost once in their five games thus far, and they have won five of them. On April 12, the Tamil Nadu-born player will play against the Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. He will be looking to use the bat to make it yet another memorable game for himself.
