The left-hander has been excellent form with scores of 74 and 63.
Things might take a wicked turn for Gujarat Titans (GT) at the beginning of their campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 as their biggest batting asset, B Sai Sudharsan, limped off the field during the clash against Mumbai Indians (MI).
On Saturday, Sudharsan was fielding at deep square leg when he tried to stop a four by diving at the ball swept by Suryakumar Yadav.
He was unable to stop it and also seemed to have pulled his hamstring in the process, as he was seen wincing in pain.
He also had to be helped off the field by the Gujarat Titans medical team.
It will be a big deal for GT to lose someone as crucial as Sai Sudharsan. The left-hander smashed 74 off 41 balls in the first game against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The in-form opener also laid the foundation for Gujarat’s big score against MI with 63 off 41 balls.
Other Gujarat Titans batters, except Jos Buttler, haven’t clicked in these two games. Sherfane Rutherford managed to score 46 off 28 balls, but failed to finish the chase of 244 against PBKS.

Against MI, it was yet again against Sudharsan who kept GT on course to a score around 200. He struck 63 off 41 balls on a pitch that kept getting slow as the innings progressed.
In the first match, they had played on a good batting surface. It helped them get close to the target, but their famous finishing ability from two seasons ago looked out of gas. After Tewatia was out for a single-digit score of six, Shah Rukh Khan failed to step up. He was dismissed for six runs as well.
Against MI, they were yet again saved by their top order putting in the tough shift. Besides Sudharsan’s half-century, captain Shubman Gill scored 38 off 27 balls while Buttler added 39 off 24 balls. Shah Rukh was back in the dug-out for nine runs. Rashid Khan was gone after scoring a six off four balls.
