Sai Sudharsan is the best batter in the Indian Premier League 2025. He is leading the batting charts and is currently the holder of the Orange Cap. His consistency is one of the reasons behind the Gujarat Titans’ qualification for the playoffs in the ongoing 18th season. With 9 wins from 12 matches, GT are no.1 in the standings. Sai has scored 617 runs at an average of 56.09 and a strike rate of 156.99, including a hundred and five fifties.

He scored an unbeaten 108 runs off 61 deliveries, laced with 12 fours and 4 sixes, and was named the Player of the Match for leading the Titans to a 10-wicket win over the Delhi Capitals in an away match.

The southpaw didn’t play risky shots and relied on proper cricketing strokes. Chasing 200 runs, the visiting franchise completed the task in 19 overs, with captain Shubman Gill also playing an aggressive knock. He amassed 93 not out off 53 balls, with the help of 7 sixes and 3 fours.

Parthiv Patel, who is the assistant coach of the Gujarat Titans, lauded the young opening batter Sai. He highlighted the batting approach of Sudharsan, who is likely to play for India in the upcoming five Tests against England.

“We see batters playing high risk, high reward cricket these days. However, Sai is different as he implements low risk and high reward cricket,” Parthiv Patel said.

“He doesn’t look for big shots because he is aware that hitting shots down the ground can get him fours,” he added.

He was one of the players who were retained by the 2022 champions ahead of the mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The decision-makers paid INR 8.50 crore to keep him on board for the next three seasons of the tournament.
