Why Isn’t Sai Sudharsan Part of Gujarat Titans Playing XI for IPL 2025 Match Against Lucknow Super Giants?

Vishnu PN

Sai Sudharsan is not part of the Gujarat Titans (GT) playing XI for the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to field against LSG.

Why isn’t Sai Sudharsan part of GT playing XI vs DC?

Sai Sudharsan is not part of the Gujarat Titans playing XI against LSG because of Kagiso Rabada’s return to the playing XI as they can play an extra bowler. The left-hander, however, is part of the impact player substitutes for Gujarat Titans. This means that he is very likely to come in as an impact player when Gujarat Titans begin their chase.

Sai Sudharsan has enjoyed a terrific IPL 2025 campaign so far. He has amassed 617 runs from 12 matches at a strike-rate of 156.99, and this includes as many as five fifties and one century. Sai Sudharsan, along with skipper Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, has proved to be pivotal in Gujarat Titans’ top-order.

The Shubman Gill-led side have already qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs and are currently first in the standings with 18 points from 12 matches.
