Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna stepped up big time as (GT) surged to the top of the IPL 2025 table

Gujarat Titans (GT) are on a roll, and their 58-run thumping of Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Ahmedabad just reinforced why they’re shaping up as the team to beat in IPL 2025. That’s four wins in a row, and the top spot on the table is theirs — for now. ⭐ Sudharsan the Glue B Sai Sudharsan continues to deliver with calm authority. His 82 off 53 was all about smart placement, clean hitting, and playing anchor when wickets fell around him. That’s three fifties this season, and he’s making a strong case for a national call-up if this form continues. 🔥 Prasidh Krishna – Middle Overs Menace Figures of 3 for 24, and all in the middle phase of the innings, where momentum often shifts — this was elite. He broke RR’s spine just when they were hoping for a rebuild post the powerplay. 💪 Supporting Cast: Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan set the tone early, getting both openers and keeping things tight. Hetmyer’s fifty was gritty, but it was never going to be enough once RR fell behind the rate and lost wickets. 📉 RR's Slide A surprising call to bowl first on a red-soil deck that tends to slow down — and without dew to help their chase, they were always behind. RR have now lost some steam after a strong start, and might need to rethink that middle-order dependency. 🚀 GT at Full Throttle This wasn’t just a win, it was a statement. Batting depth, a varied pace attack, and tactical clarity — they're looking locked in. With Sudharsan peaking, Prasidh firing, and bowlers delivering as a unit, GT are building serious momentum. Jofra Archer’s resurgence has been one of the most thrilling storylines of the past few IPL 2025 games — and tonight, he was pure fire. 🔥 Archer's Raw Pace Returns After a rough start (109 runs off 6.3 overs in his first two matches!), Archer has stormed back: 4 wickets for 38 runs in his last two before tonight. Vs GT: He clocked 152.3kph to rush Sudharsan with a searing bouncer, then castled Shubman Gill with a 147.7kph jag-back. ✅ Gill vs Archer in T20s now: 15 balls, 10 runs, 3 dismissals. That's domination. His Buttler duel was pure theatre: Archer came steaming in with two slips, short leg, catching square leg — and started with a missile of a bouncer. Buttler somehow avoided it, inside-edged the next one, and then stroked a crisp four — a mini battle of champions. 🌟 Sai Sudharsan – Calm, Clinical, Consistent Another day, another impactful knock: 82 (53), with all the gears on display — ramps, scoops, drives, cuts. Broke out early this time — 39 off 22 in the powerplay, second-best for GT ever after Saha’s 54 in 2023. He continues to build his case as GT’s backbone with the bat — and now even accelerates when needed. ⚡ Middle-Order Boost After Buttler fell to Theekshana for 31 (off 19), M Shahrukh Khan’s quick 36 off 20 re-ignited the innings. Tewatia + Rashid = 30 off the final two overs = killer finish. 📈 GT’s Engine Firing on All Cylinders They're not just winning — they're evolving. Sudharsan’s consistency, Shahrukh’s cameos, the Tewatia-Rashid late thrust, and now the pace battery stepping up, all signs of a side peaking at the right time. Even though Archer was breathing fire, GT still crossed 200 — a mark of a confident and deep batting unit.
