Gujarat Titans pulled off a brilliant run chase to beat Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets in the 35th match of IPL 2025. Delhi batted first and posted a big total of 203, but Jos Buttler had other plans. He hammered an unbeaten 97 off just 54 balls and made sure Gujarat crossed the line with ease.

Things didn’t start well for Delhi after losing Abhishek Porel early to Arshad Khan. Then came a fiery spell from Prasidh Krishna. He bowled a fast, full ball that tailed in late and trapped KL Rahul right in front. Rahul missed the line trying to play it to the leg side, and the umpire had no doubt. After Karun Nair also fell, Delhi were suddenly struggling at 93/3.

Just when things looked shaky for Delhi, Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma stepped up. They played smart cricket and added important runs to help Delhi cross 200. It was a good fightback. While Siraj and Arshad gave away 47 and 46 runs each, Prasidh picked 4 big wickets despite going for 41 runs.

Jos Buttler Turns On Beast Mode and Tewatia Finishes it Off in Style

Gujarat’s chase got off to a rough start with captain Shubman Gill getting run out. Sai Sudharsan chipped in with a quick 36, but after that, it was the Jos Buttler show. He played some jaw-dropping shots and completely took the game away from Delhi. He smashed Mohit Sharma for 18 runs in the 13th over to bring up his fifty in just 32 balls. And when Starc came on to bowl, Buttler hit him for five boundaries in one over absolute carnage.

Even though the match went into the last over, Gujarat were in control. With 10 needed off 6 balls, Rahul Tewatia walked in and calmly hit a six and a four off Starc to finish the game. Buttler was left stranded on 97 not out, but thanks to his knock, Gujarat had already done most of the job. It was a great all-round performance from GT solid bowling in the heat and a fantastic chase led by Buttler’s brilliance.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain and rising India cricketer Rajat Patidar has etched his name in the IPL record books by becoming the second-fastest Indian to reach 1,000 runs in the tournament. This milestone further establishes Patidar as a serious contender for a future spot in India’s T20 international squad, thanks to his consistency and aggressive stroke play.

With this feat, Rajat Patidar trails only Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan, who remains the quickest Indian to reach the 1,000-run milestone, having achieved the landmark in just 25 innings. Patidar, on the other hand, reached the same mark in 30 innings, making him the fastest within the RCB franchise and placing him second overall among Indian batters. The top four fastest Indians to reach 1,000 IPL runs by innings are now led by Sudharsan (25), followed by Patidar (30), with legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar and Chennai Super Kings' Ruturaj Gaikwad tied in third place, each achieving the milestone in 31 innings.

3. Sachin Tendulkar – 31 Innings

A legend in every sense, Sachin Tendulkar’s name speaks for itself. Despite featuring in only six IPL seasons, his influence was undeniable. Representing Mumbai Indians, he reached the 1,000-run milestone in just 31 innings, showcasing his adaptability in the shortest format of the game. Tendulkar won the Orange Cap in 2010, leading by example with his signature elegance and timeless technique, proving that age is no barrier in T20 cricket.

4. Ruturaj Gaikwad – 31 Innings

The Chennai Super Kings opener is the epitome of timing and elegance. Gaikwad stormed onto the scene with match-winning performances and consistency at the top of the order. He was the Orange Cap winner in 2021, showcasing his ability to score big runs while maintaining a solid strike rate. Reaching 1,000 runs in 31 innings placed him among the most promising future stars of Indian cricket, and he continues to be a key part of CSK’s title ambitions.

Top 3 Dream11 Vice-captain choices

Axar Patel: Although Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has produced very limited performances in the IPL 2025, only with the bat, Ahmedabad is his very popular venue, which is his home venue in domestic cricket. So, he will be a key for Delhi Capitals on Saturday afternoon. 

Mitchell Starc: Delhi Capitals' left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc has recorded 10 wickets in six games, including a fifer. He also won the Player of the Match award in their last game against Rajasthan Royals, where he was a hero in the Super Over win.

Prasidh Krishna: Prasidh Krishna is a consistent performer with the ball for Gujarat Titans, as the right-arm pacer picked up 10 wickets in six matches with an incredible economy rate of 6.95. 

Calm, cool, collective, classy—perhaps these words can describe Sai Sudharsan's batting in the ongoing IPL 2025. The 23-year-old batter is on a mission with Gujarat Titans to establish something new that can redefine modern cricket.

Two former cricketers, now cricket pundits, Simon Doull and Harsha Bhogle, explain why Sai Sudharshan's play style looks different than other batters playing in the Indian Premier League. There was only one instance so far in the tournament where Sai Sudharsan did not manage to build a solid innings, which was against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He got only 5 in this match. 82 against Rajasthan Royals, 59 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 63 vs Mumbai Indians, and 74 in the Punjab Kings match. Overall, the GT opener has bagged 273 runs in 5 matches—the second highest run getter in IPL 2025, just behind Lucknow Super Giants's Nicholas Pooran, who has 288 runs with his name.

This is what Harsha and Simon said about Sai Sudharsan 

"If you think about Mitchell Marsh, I know where he gets all the runs, the power. If you think about Nicholas Pooran, he has 24 sixes; where does he get all the runs? But when you think about Sai Sudharsan, where does he generate all the runs?" Harsha Bhogle raised this question in an interaction session after the GT vs. RR match.

— Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) April 9, 2025

Bhogle made a statement by saying, "I can't define him in a way." Followed by a Simon Doull word, "True." Doull was impressed by the left-hander's choices of shot and skills to improvise a shot. After defeating Rajasthan Royals, GT is now at the top of the ladder and a clear favorite to win IPL 2025. If Sudharsan continues his form like his, it is possible that in the near future he can be graced with the purple cap. 

In IPL 2025, the match was played between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) team. In this match, the Gujarat Titans defeated the Rajasthan Royals team by a huge margin of 58 runs and registered another win. Batting first, the Gujarat Titans scored 217 runs in the stipulated 20 overs, thanks to Sai Sudarshan's 82 runs. In reply, the Rajasthan Royals team was bowled out for 159 runs in 19.2 overs. Apart from this, Prasidh Krishna took three wickets for 24 runs.

Coming to bat first against the Rajasthan Royals, Gujarat Titans team captain Shubman Gill was clean bowled by Jofra Archer and could score only two runs. After this, Jos Buttler and Sai Sudarshan took over the innings at number three. Sai played an innings of 82 runs in 53 balls with eight fours and three sixes. While Butler scored 36 runs in 25 balls with five fours. Apart from this, Shahrukh Khan also played a fast innings of 36 runs with four fours and two sixes in 20 balls.

Due to this GT made a huge total of 217 runs for six wickets in 20 overs. Rahul Tewatia also played an unbeaten inning of 24 runs with two fours and two sixes in 12 balls. While Tushar Deshpande and Mahesh Theekshana took the maximum two wickets each for Rajasthan. RR team could not chase the big target.

Chasing the target of 218 runs given by the Gujarat Titans, RR did not have a good start, and its opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (6), while Nitish Rana (1), who came at number three, could not do anything special. Due to this, the team lost two wickets for just 12 runs. After this, Sanju Samson scored 41 runs with four fours and two sixes in 28 balls. While wickets kept falling at the other end as well.

IPL 2025, Match 23: GT vs RR Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Sai Sudharsan: Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan started the IPL 2025 strongly. Apart from scoring five runs in the last game, he scored 74, 63, and 49 runs in this competition. 

Sanju Samson: Rajasthan Royals' regular captain Sanju Samson started this IPL season with scores of 66, 13, 20, and 38 runs, respectively.

Jofra Archer: English cricketer Jofra Archer won the Player of the Match award in their last game for picking up three wickets. After failing to take wickets in the first two games of the season, Archer had an impactful role with the ball in the next two fixtures.

IPL 2025, Match 19: SRH vs GT Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Sai Sudharsan: In-form Sai Sudharsan is the second leading run-scorer in the IPL 2025 with 186 runs in three innings by scoring 74, 63, and 49 runs, respectively.

Travis Head: Among the SRH top-order batters, only Australian star Travis Head is in form with the scores of 67, 47, 22, and four runs, respectively. If he gets enough support from the other batters, Head can produce a powerful start for his team. 

Pat Cummins: While SRH are struggling, captain Pat Cummins has to play a key role for his franchise. In the tough bowling pitch in Hyderabad, skipper Cummins bowled impressively in their last game against the Lucknow Super Giants. His cameo with the bat will also play a crucial role in the batting. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Jos Buttler: English star Jos Buttler started the IPL 2025 strongly with scores of 54, 39, and 73 not out, respectively. The Hyderabad venue generally produces batting-friendly pitches in recent T20 cricket, and Buttler can be one of the dangerous batters in the match. 

Mohammed Siraj: Although Mohammed Siraj started the IPL 2025 with a wicketless expensive bowling figures (0/54), the right-arm pacer scalped five wickets in the next two games, including picking up three wickets (3/19) in their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win the Player of the Match award. 

Heinrich Klaasen: Dangerous batter Heinrich Klaasen is one of the most consistent middle-order batters in present-day white-ball cricket. While his team had batting woes in their last three fixtures, Klaasen's scores in this IPL season were 34, 26, 32, and 33 runs, respectively. 

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is famous not only for exciting matches, good players, etc., but also for some moves that transform the game away from traditional performance. One great example is the tactical "retired out," in which a batter is dismissed without injury voluntarily as a result of a strategy to replace the batter with a different batter that makes sense from the context of the match.

1. Ravichandran Ashwin - Rajasthan Royals vs. LSG, 2022

Ashwin still wrote himself into the history books a little during IPL 2022, as he became the first player to be retired out. In this example, Rajasthan Royals chose to take Ashwin off in a match against Lucknow Super Giants in the 19th over so they could send in a more aggressive batter for the end-game thrust. Aside from shocking the vast majority, it opened some new strategic doors in the IPL.

2. Atharva  Taide - Punjab Kings vs. DC, 2023

Punjab Kings retired Atharva after he made 26 in IPL 2023. Taide is making an impact on the field against Delhi Capitals. While he was consistently able to provide the foundation with the bat, he often couldn’t raise the pace in bursts when the side needed an influx of runs all of a sudden. His team management further decided to remove him from play for the duration, emphasizing that this “retired out” option was not merely a one-off response.

3. Sai Sudharsan - GT vs. MI, 2023

The second instance, well on the verge of becoming a trend, came in the same season when Gujarat Titans employed tactical retirement to retire out Sai Sudharsan against Mumbai Indians. It was a smart gamble to add a known playoff sniper and represented that franchises were willing to get aggressive and take chances, even with their growing young core.

4. Tilak Varma - Mumbai Indians vs. LSG, 2025

It doesn’t stop here; the further names you could be adding to this list as of right now are Tilak Varma and IPL 2025. Mumbai Indians made the shocking call in their game against Lucknow Super Giants, inarguably overshadowing another show of personnel over strategy far too often seen in today’s game.

Retired outs in the IPL are fast becoming a not-so-trendy new black mark-added trend in waiting. With the search to extend the margins and find any edge possible, teams aren’t leaving any stone unturned, and “retired out” might just be the sharpest new tool in the league’s strategic playbook.

Gujarat Titans (GT) batter Sai Sudharsan complimented teammate Mohammed Siraj on his exceptional performance in their victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 1, 2025, at M. Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium. He referred to Siraj as the "game changer" and credited him with infusing tremendous energy into the team.

The 23-year-old was struck by Siraj's attitude and desire. He even re-enacted Siraj's iconic quote from India's T20 World Cup 2024 victory: "I only believed in Jassi Bhai."

"I have faith only in Siraj bhai. Siraj Bhai is the game-changer. His attitude and the energy he gives changes the entire team. I enjoyed it. I loved it. I thought he was going to have an excellent game because Siraj bhai is the game-changer," Sudharsan revealed in an interaction with batting coach Parthiv Patel.

Siraj Shines as Gujarat Titans Stun RCB

Mohammed Siraj made a huge difference in his first match back at Chinnaswamy Stadium, as the Gujarat Titans won by eight wickets. He took three crucial wickets and proved to RCB what they missed by letting him go before the IPL 2025 auction.

RCB opened the season strongly with victories over Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. Even their 17-year-old Chepauk losing streak came to an end. However, at home, they fared badly as Shubman Gill led the Gujarat Titans and brought their winning spell to a halt. Excellent bowling by Siraj restricted RCB to a very low score. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler then finished off the chase quite comfortably to clinch an authoritative victory for the Gujarat Titans.

This win gives more confidence tothe  Gujarat Titans, whereas RCB needs to re-strategize. Siraj's performance raises the question of whether RCB should have released him.

IPL 2025 match 14 played between Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Banglore is won by Gujarat Titans beating Banglore in their own home ground in Chinnaswamy stadium. Gujarat Titans captain Subhman Gill won the toss and elected to field first, Banglore was back to their home ground after back-to-back wins.

But it didn't well for Banglore who lost their wickets in regular intervals and scored 169 runs with the loss of 8 wickets Gujarat Titans were in chase mode where they chased the target in 18 overs with the loss of 2 wickets. 
RCB had a great season start when they played their opening encounter against Champions Kolkata Rajat Patidar the new RCB captain won the toss and elected to field first and Kolkata were restricted to a 170 score and it was chased down by RCB batters with great ease.RCB won their second game against Chennai Super Kings and made it two on two. Here Gujarat lost their first match against Punjab Kings, though they got them back by beating Mumbai Indians.

Banglore With Poor Start
 It was Banglore's first home match where they were facing inform Gujarat Team. Subhman Gill won the toss and elected to field first. RCB with a great batting line started with Virat Kohli and Phil Salt there were few boundaries by Salt against Siraj where he sloged a six and four but Miyan was back with a banger ball departing Salt for 15. Then his partner Virat Kohli too couldn't able to contribute more and was removed by Arshad Khan.  Then came Padikal who hit Siraj for a four but at the very next ball he too got bowled by him. Back then Rajat Patidar the captain of RCB was removed by Ishant Sharma. 

Under the score of 100 RCB lost half of their side including Jitesh Sharma who looked good but couldn't contribute more. But Liam Livingston the England man countered Gujarat's bowling attack and started exploding sixes and fours he was the one in the RCB unit who scored the half-century and in the end,, it was Tim David who ended the proceedings like he did in his previous game against CSK. Banglore posted a total of 169 runs with the loss of eight wickets.

Butler Magic Wins the Game
Gujarat Titans started their chase with captain Gill and Sai Sudharshan on the crease. But the ball had a lot of swing in the second over it was not easy for the chase where a waiting opportunity was required. Though Gill had other plans he started the proceedings for the chase but couldn't hold much when he was dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar his partner Sai Sudharshan played a composed innings with Jos Bultler supporting at the other end. 
Sai Sudharshan played a composed innings of 49 runs where too had to lose his wicket but he did his job well. Next to it was Sherfane Rutherford who partnered with Butler. Butler went on to score well made 50 but after that, he was in charge where he scored 73 runs well supported by Rutherford who was impressed by his hard-hitting-hitting finished the game in style giving Gujarat their second win in the IPL whereas it is the first loss for the host RCB too and a tuff game where at the end Patidar agreed they were 30 runs short to the game. With this win, Gujarat has jumped to the fourth position behind RCB who are better in run rate than them.
