Boult will open the attack

0.6
Boult to Shubman Gill, FOUR, to deep extra cover

GT 7/0 (1) CRR: 7

Shubman Gill 6(3)
Sai Sudharsan 1(3)

1.2
Chahar to Shubman Gill, FOUR, 135.6 clicks, short pitched and angling onto middle and leg. Too easy for Gill to pull through square leg, stands tall to the bowler and swats it away!

2.4
Boult to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, 118.7 clicks, pace off and fuller on middle and leg. Sudharsan reads it off the hand, waits and then stylishly closes the bat face to guide the ball to the left of mid-wicket for a boundary
2.3
Boult to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, fuller and angling onto the pads, glanced towards deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs
2.2
Boult to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, 138.2 clicks, fuller and straighter delivery. Sudharsan dances to the pitch on this delivery and dishes out a textbook on drive. Just holds his pose as the mid-on fielder belatedly chases after to retrieve the ball from the boundary

In reply to Narper

Uncle Narps. Sai. bad man this.


Having become a key member of the GT set-up, Sudharsan became GT’s leading run-scorer of the season in IPL 2024 - 527 runs at an average of 47.90 - which included two fifties and a magnificent century against CSK.

Sudharsan was retained by the Titans ahead of the 2025 IPL auction for INR 8.50 crore.

Santner to Buttler, FOUR, a flat delivery onto the stumps, Buttler shimmies inward and ramps it towards the vacant fine leg region for a boundary. Neatly using the pace of the bowler for a boundary
9.4
►
Santner to Buttler, SIX, tossed up delivery, gives the ball just a bit of air and that's enough for Buttler to snap at it!! Heaves it across the line and gets plenty of power on it. Slightly off the bottom end of the bat but gets just enough power to clear long-on. A bit of mediocre fielding in the deep as well, as the fielder got hands to the ball but his foot was kissing the ropes as he ended up losing control as well

13.5
Mujeeb to Buttler, out Caught by Rickelton!! Edged and taken! Mujeeb breaks the partnership. Mujeeb goes full and wide outside off, Buttler throws the kitchen sink at it, plays away from his body and gets an outside edge. A sharp catch by Rickelton and the dangerous England batter is back to the pavilion.

Buttler c Rickelton b Mujeeb 39(24) [4s-5 6s-1]

14.1
Boult to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, fifty for Sai Sudharsan! Continues to be a consistent performer for the Titans. Back of a length outside off, Sai Sudharsan slices it towards point for a single. Needs to shift gears with a lot of batters remaining

15.1
Hardik Pandya to Shahrukh Khan, SIX, short and punished! SRK joins the party. Gets hold of this short ball and pulls it over deep square leg for half-a-dozen. Was a slower one and the middle-order batsman managed to put it away

15.3
Hardik Pandya to Shahrukh Khan, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Another one bites the dust. Shahrukh Khan departs without much of a contribution. Just a six for him. Was a short and wide ball outside off, Shahrukh Khan reaches out for it and slaps it towards deep cover. Tilak stationed near the boundary takes a safe catch and the Titans have lost their third wicket.

Shahrukh Khan c Tilak Varma b Hardik Pandya 9(7) [6s-1]

Sherfane Rutherford, left handed bat, comes to the crease

15.4
Hardik Pandya to Rutherford, 1 run, banged in short by Hardik Pandya and the batsman has hooked it towards fine leg for one

16.1
Satyanarayana Raju to Rutherford, SIX, pitched up by the bowler on off, tad slower and Rutherford has smashed this with all his might. Thumps it over wide long-off and that's half-a-dozen

16.3
Satyanarayana Raju to Sai Sudharsan, SIX, Sai Sudharsan breaks the shackles. Walks across in the crease and swipes this length delivery over deep mid-wicket for a fantastic six. Was in the slot and he managed to send it over the boundary

GT 170/3 (17) CRR: 10

Sherfane Rutherford 10(5)
Sai Sudharsan 62(39)

17.1
Boult to Rutherford, SIX, juicy full toss by Boult and Rutherford has smoked it over deep mid-wicket for half-a-dozen. Runs coming thick and fast for the Titans

Shouldn’t get run out dey
Come on man this is pro cricket sorta

17.6
Boult to Sai Sudharsan, out Lbw!! Boult ends his spell with a wicket. A toe-crushing yorker again. Swings in late and the batsman gets hit on the back leg. Might have crashed into the stumps and up goes the umpire's finger. Sai Sudharsan walks back after playing a pivotal knock. With Rutherford out in the middle, the Titans do have a chance to breach the 200-run mark.

Sai Sudharsan lbw b Boult 63(41) [4s-4 6s-2]
