Sai Sudharsan, the Gujarat Titans opener, played a excellent knock of 48 in just 23 balls in an IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 2. Sudharsan's innings came to an end in the eighth over while trying to steer a delivery past the keeper, which fluttered off the bat's edge into the waiting gloves of Heinrich Klaasen off the bowling of Zeeshan Ansari. Another aesthetic touch to the dismissal: the leg-spin of SRH set up Sudharsan with ball kissing the outside edge and Klaasen making no mistake behind the stumps.

He made it through 54 innings to dethrone Sachin Tendulkar from the record of 59. Earlier, after opting to bowl first, the SRH skipper Pat Cummins saw his bowling attack face the wrath of the GT openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, as they pretty much opened the first with them. They capitalized on horrible bowling and took GT to 81/0 at the end of the powerplay. Gill missed the field from GT's last match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) due to a back spasm, but he made a complete return. GT made only one change to that loss, with Gerald Coetzee coming in for Karim Janat.

SRH stared down the barrel as it must win to remain in playoff contention as it started the day ninth. A GT win, meanwhile will see it atop the table. Currently, it is 140 for one after 12 overs for GT with Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler batting at the crease.
