Sai Sudharsan has been in brilliant form in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). The left-handed batsman's consistency at the top of the order is one of the reasons behind the Gujarat Titans' brilliant display this season.
He started his campaign this season with a 74-run knock against Punjab Kings before scoring 63 against Gujarat Titans. In the following game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sai Sudharsan scored 49. It was followed by a rare failure as he was out for just 5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
However, the southpaw bounced back quickly and scored 82 against the Rajasthan Royals in his following innings. It was followed by knocks of 56, 36, 52, and 39.
On Friday (May 2), he opened the innings for Gujarat Titans against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and impressed with the bat once again. The highly-rated batsman got into his groove by taking India star Mohammed Shami to the cleaners.
In the third over of the Gujarat Titans innings, Sudharsan hit Shami for as many as five fours. He was looking destined to hit another fifty but missed out by just 2 runs. Sudharsan departed after scoring 48 runs off just 23 balls. His brilliant knock was studded with 9 fours.
While Sudharsan missed out on a well-deserved fifty, his knock helped him create history. He broke the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of the fastest Indian to 2000 T20 runs. He needed 32 runs against SRH to break Tendulkar's record and went on to do it, achieving the feat in the fifth over with a single off Harshal Patel.
