Gujarat Titans kept Sai Sudharsan ahead of IPL 2025 for INR 8.50 crore. The left-handed batter had a great season last year, scoring 527 runs in 12 matches. He averaged 47.90 and had a strike rate of 141.29. He was GT’s highest run-scorer in 2024 and finished sixth in the overall list. Sudharsan has been improving every year. In his first IPL season in 2022, he scored 145 runs in five matches, 362 runs in eight matches in 2023, and 527 runs in 12 games last year. Because of this progress, many believe he could have another strong season and be a top contender for the Orange Cap.
On the other hand, Arshdeep Singh also had his best season in 2024. He picked up 19 wickets in 14 matches, with an average of 26.58 and an economy of 10.03. Punjab Kings did not retain him at first but bought him back at the mega auction for INR 18 crore by using their Right-to-Match card. Arshdeep has been consistent, taking 17 wickets in 2023 and 19 wickets last year. With his ability to take wickets regularly, he is definitely in the race for the Purple Cap this year.
