Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan Light Up IPL 2025 as Gujarat Titans Dominate LSG
What an explosive start it’s been for Gujarat Titans in their clash against the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025! Honestly, if you’re a GT fan, you’re probably smiling ear to ear right now because Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have just been flawless at the top.
The match kicked off at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, with Rishabh Pant winning the toss and choosing to bowl first. It looked like a good decision on paper, but the Titans had other plans. Right from the first ball, it was clear that Gill and Sudharsan weren’t here to mess around. Sai started things off with a beautiful boundary and just never looked back. He was timing the ball sweetly, threading the gaps like a master.
Shubman, on the other hand, looked like he had a point to prove. After a bit of an up-and-down season so far, today he came out with intent. That cover drive for four early on was just majestic, and you could feel the momentum shift. By the time we reached the 7-over mark, GT were already at 71 without loss. A 50-run partnership had been wrapped up well within the powerplay, and it didn’t feel like they were taking any unnecessary risks—just classy cricket.

LSG, meanwhile, looked a bit rattled. Rishabh Pant, despite showing good tactical awareness by introducing spinners early, couldn’t stop the flow of runs. Ravi Bishnoi, one of their key bowlers, thought he had Sudharsan caught behind but DRS ruled otherwise—it brushed the thigh pad. That moment kind of summed up LSG's day so far.
What’s hurting LSG more is the absence of Mitchell Marsh. With the top order already under pressure and inconsistency from their marquee players like Pant, who’s had a quiet season with the bat, the team needs someone to step up. Pooran’s been brilliant this season, but the rest have been patchy.
Gujarat, though, look like a complete unit. Even without Glenn Phillips, they haven’t skipped a beat. Whether it’s Sudharsan’s composure, Gill’s elegance, or the depth in their batting order with the likes of Buttler and Rutherford waiting, this team is oozing confidence.
If GT continue this way, they’re going to stay at the top for a while. Their bowlers haven’t even come into the game yet, but the tone has already been set. This is exactly the kind of start any captain dreams of—dominance right from ball one.
So as the match unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Gill can convert this into a big one, and if LSG can pull off a turnaround. But one thing’s for sure: this GT opening pair is turning heads this season, and today’s performance is just further proof of their class.
