Sai Sudharsan went all guns blazing against Mohammad Shami in the IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 2. The left-handed batter smashed five boundaries off the speedster, gaining 20 runs for his side in a single over.

Retained for INR 8.50 crore, Sudharsan has fully justified his price. The southpaw has been exceptional with the bat in IPL 2025, amassing 456 runs in nine matches with the help of five half-centuries, barring the ongoing game against the SunRisers.

On the other hand, Mohammad Shami has been ordinary with the ball, managing just six wickets in eight games at an economy rate of 10.70, excluding the ongoing fixture.
