IPL 2025 | Gill-Sai Sudharsan combo: calm and consistent
The Hindu
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan exude calmness and confidence, winning hearts and instilling fear in rivals effortlessly.
When Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan walk out, casually practising their strokes, their every movement speaks volumes about their calmness and confidence. They go about winning hearts in the stands and planting quiet fear in the minds of their rivals without a ball bowled.
It’s not easy to remain unflappable in the middle when the packed stands are bursting with excitement. But it is only in the stillness of a peaceful mind that the true calling of greatness finds its voice.
This spirit is perfectly embodied by the Gujarat Titans’ opening pair, who marry skill with the kind of composure that almost effortlessly turns pressure into power.
In the IPL last year, Titans decided to pair Sai Sudharsan with Gill when Wriddhiman Saha was unavailable, a move that, in hindsight, looks like a masterstroke.
They notched up 50+ runs in all three innings they played together in 2024.
It’s not just their brilliance but their consistency that has brought a sense of comfort to the hearts of the GT fans.
On May 10, 2024, when the Titans fortress shimmered with hints of yellow, Gill and Sai Sudharsan joined hands to script one of the finest partnerships in IPL history – a 210-run stand against Chennai Super Kings that left both teammates and opponents in awe.
