Why Isn’t Sai Sudharsan Part of Gujarat Titans Playing XI for IPL 2025 Match Against Delhi Capitals?

B Sai Sudharsan is not part of the Gujarat Titans (GT) playing XI for Sunday’s IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Delhi. Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to field against Delhi Capitals, and Shubman Gill announced just one change to the playing XI, with Kagiso Rabada making a return.

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

Sai Sudharsan is not part of the Gujarat Titans playing XI against Delhi Capitals because of Kagiso Rabada’s return to the playing XI. Gujarat Titans had to add an extra pacer in Kagiso Rabada after they opted to field. Sai Sudharsan, 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 509 runs from 11 matches at a strike-rate of 153.31, and this includes as many as five fifties. Sai Sudharsan, along with skipper Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, has proved to be pivotal in Gujarat Titans’ top-order.
