Sudharsan\u2019s solid 49 off 36 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru took his season total to 186 runs in 3 matches\u2014just shy of Pooran\u2019s 189.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"459\" data-end=\"925\">Batting with poise and confidence, Sudharsan looked well on course for his third consecutive fifty before he was undone by a clever delivery from Josh Hazlewood. Attempting a lap shot, Sudharsan misjudged the back-of-a-length ball that cramped him for room. The ball caught his glove and lobbed to wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma, who completed a sharp catch. Sudharsan walked back visibly disappointed, knowing he had missed a golden chance to top the run-scoring chart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"1128\">Before his dismissal, Sudharsan struck 7 boundaries and a six, keeping Gujarat Titans firmly in the chase. His partnership with Jos Buttler was crucial in stabilizing the innings after an early wicket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1337\">With this performance, Sudharsan now sits second in the Orange Cap standings with 186 runs in 3 matches at an average of 62. Nicholas Pooran continues to hold the top spot with 189 runs from as many matches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1339\" data-end=\"1486\">As the race for the Orange Cap intensifies, all eyes will be on Sudharsan\u2019s next outing to see if he can finally overtake Pooran in the next match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat Titans\u2019 young star Sai Sudharsan narrowly missed out on claiming the IPL 2025 Orange Cap on Tuesday as he\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42372,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3590],"class_list":["post-22077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-sai-sudharsan"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
