Sai Sudharsan Closing In On Sachin’s Massive IPL Record: Gujarat Titans’ opener Sai Sudharsan continues to impress in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with his consistent performances. In the ongoing match against Rajasthan Royals, Sudharsan once again proved why he is one of the most reliable batters this season. Partnering with Shubman Gill, he laid a solid foundation for GT, adding 93 runs for the first wicket before being dismissed for a brisk 39 off 30 balls.
With this innings, Sudharsan not only claimed the Orange Cap from Virat Kohli but also inched closer to a major IPL milestone. He now has 1,490 runs in the tournament and is just 10 runs away from becoming the fastest player to reach 1,500 IPL runs. Currently, the record is jointly held by Sachin Tendulkar and Ruturaj Gaikwad, both of whom achieved the feat in 44 innings. Sudharsan, with 34 innings so far, still has 10 opportunities to break the record.
Sudharsan’s IPL career has been nothing short of spectacular. With an average of 48.06 and a strike rate of 142.31, he has been a key player for Gujarat Titans. His partnership with Gill has been particularly lethal this season, with the duo crossing 500 runs together in IPL 2025.

Despite falling short of the 1,500-run mark in this game, Sudharsan remains on track to surpass Tendulkar and Gaikwad in the coming matches. His ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a healthy strike rate makes him a vital asset for GT.
After Sudharsan’s dismissal, Jos Buttler took charge, ensuring Gujarat Titans maintained their momentum. At the time of writing, GT were comfortably placed at 154/1 in 15.4 overs, showcasing their batting depth.
With 10 innings still remaining in the season, all eyes will be on Sudharsan as he looks to etch his name in IPL history by breaking one of Sachin Tendulkar’s long-standing records. If he maintains his current form, the milestone is well within his reach.
