While some players make noise, Sai Sudharsan simply makes runs. Buckets of them. The Gujarat Titans are tearing through IPL 2025 like a hot spoon through butter, and leading the charge with the quiet confidence of a seasoned pro is their young batting sensation, Sai Sudharsan.
With over 500 runs to his name already, Sudharsan isn’t just padding stats—he’s turning matches into personal batting exhibitions. In fact, the Orange Cap is in a constant tug-of-war between him and Virat Kohli, and if form holds, Sudharsan might just snatch it off King Kohli’s head with a polite nod and a cover drive.
But here's where it gets wild: He’s not just giving Kohli a run for his money—he’s outpaced the Sachin Tendulkar. Yes, the Master Blaster himself! Sudharsan now holds the record for being the fastest Indian to reach 2000 T20 runs, doing it in just 54 innings. Sachin? Took 59. It’s like beating The Flash in a 100m dash—barely believable, but undeniably real.
For context, other top names in the list—Ruturaj Gaikwad (60), Devdutt Padikkal (61), and Rajat Patidar (61)—are all playing catch-up. Meanwhile, Sudharsan is busy batting like a monk with a mission: calm, focused, unstoppable.
This isn’t a flash-in-the-pan season, either. The lad’s been lighting up the IPL since day one. He was the highest run-scorer for GT in IPL 2024 as well. Sai averaged over 50 in the year before that and in just 5 opportunities in his debut season, Sudharsan impressed with 145 runs. Now, in 2025, he’s back at it again—breaking records and hearts in equal measure.
Oh, and let’s not forget his chemistry with Shubman Gill. The duo’s opening stands could be studied in universities. If cricket had rom-coms, this would be it. So yes, Sai Sudharsan is on fire—and no, there’s no extinguisher in sight.
