The 23rd match of the Indian Premier League 2025 between the Gujarat Titans and the Rajasthan Royals is currently underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Sundar made his debut for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 19th match of IPL 2025 on Sunday, April 6, against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
However, Sundar was sent to bat at the No.4 spot following the early dismissals of Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler inside 4 overs. He batted exceptionally well during the run-chase of 153 and stitched up a 90-run match-winning stand with Shubman Gill.
After his heroics against SRH, many would have expected him to feature in the match against Rajasthan Royals, but that didn't happen as he was dropped from the batting team.
Fans react to Washington Sundar's snub:
Dropping Washington Sundar for Arshad Khan after Sundar was lights out is positively insane. Ashish Nehra is in WTF mode

Why Washington Sundar not part of GT batting?#GTvsRR

GT literally has no batting depth. Despite that they benched Washington Sundar . Loosing to RR won’t be surprising.

How Sundar sneaks into the best 15 of India but doesn't get a place in any IPL XI when 10 teams exist is a mystery pic.twitter.com/1WLCgmAH8M

Where the f is Sundar? Unbelievable chutiyapa by GT! He batted unbelievably well in the last match and you don't see him in the batting line up at all. What an irony! Nehra must be kicked out.@gujarat_titans #sundar @IPL

Washington Sundar clashes with reporter
During the pre-match press conference, Washington Sundar had a heated clash with one of the reporters after the media person misquoted him.
Responding to this, Sundar said “What’s the question?" before the reporter clarified, saying “You apparently said, ‘I got only two IPL matches and 14 international games'".
He said that he prepared himself very well and was waiting to get an opportunity to play for the Gujarat Titans. Sundar elaborated:
“I was definitely looking for the opportunity and was preparing really well. To be a part of the Titans is a great blessing because we practise for long hours. Our coach believes in putting in volumes, especially when it comes to improving in different aspects of the game, and it’s been great for me. That way, I know for a fact that I am always improving, and whenever the opportunity comes, I will be prepared."
