IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan has registered his second IPL century against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday, May 18. The youngster brought up his century in just 56 balls and riding on his indomitable partnership with Shubman Gill, Gujarat have snatched a 10-wicket victory to become the first team to secure a playoff spot.
Sudharsan has been in stellar form and has now amassed 617 runs in 12 matches. The dashing opener has been pivotal for Gujarat Titans' success this season and if they are to grab that coveted 2nd IPL title, he needs to continue his stellar show in the tournament.
The Gujarat opening duo have also been named in the India A squad for the England series and will join after the 1st First class match. Alongside Gujarat, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have also qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
Earlier KL Rahul hit his 5th IPL hundred to help his team post a staggering 199 runs on the board. The former LSG captain brought up his hundred in 60 balls but the DC bowlers failed to capitalise on the conditions. Rahul also went past Virat Kohli to become the fastest Indian to register 8000 runs in T20 cricket. Delhi's defeat means their match, their next match against the Mumbai Indians has now become a knockout game. If they lose against Hardik Pandya's side they will be out of the playoff contention as it stands.
