3 reasons why Sai Sudharshan can be GT’s top run-scorer in IPL 2025

Gujrat Titans didn’t have the best of starts in the eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League. The fifth match of IPL 2025 was played between Gujrat Titans and Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday evening. Gujrat Titans won the toss and elected to field first. However, the decision didn’t go in their favour as Punjab Kings posted a gigantic target of 244 runs for the hosts. Gujrat’s opener, Sai Sudarshan, got his team off to a good start. As long as the south-paw held his crease, the target appeared in sight for the hosts. Sudharshan played a terrific innings of 74 runs in just 41 deliveries. His innings included 5 boundaries and 6 mammoth sixes. He is now the leading run-scorer of his side in the current edition of IPL.

Here are three reasons why Sai Sudharshan can be Gujrat Titan’s top scorer in IPL.

3. Suitable position to score runs

Sai Sudharshan is entrusted with the responsibility of opening the innings for the Gujrat Titans. He has shouldered this responsibility for quite some time now, both at the domestic and IPL levels. Batting in the top order will provide him a chance to face more deliveries than the batters who play in the middle order. He also can make the most of the infield restrictions in the first six overs of the innings. He is sure to be a top contender for scoring the bulk of Gujarat’s runs should he continue to play as an opener.

2. Sai knows his role well

Sai Sudharshan is well aware of his roles and responsibilities as the opening batsman of Gujrat Titans. He can dictate the pace of the game as per the demand of the situation. He is also adept at playing marathon knocks as evidenced by his 7 half centuries and one ton in just 26 matches. Sai’s ability to play pace and spin is equally exceptional and he is capable of taking the attack on the opposition.

1. The Man in form

Sai Sudharshan has proved his worth to his franchise by consistently scoring runs over the last two seasons. The left-handed batter boasts an impressive average of 48.07, along with a fiery strike rate of 180. Sai Sudharshan has been in good form heading into the eighteenth edition of IPL and he looks set to make the most of his form this season.
