'His energy changes the whole team': Sai Sudharsan reveals Gujarat Titans' 'game-changer' in IPL 2025

Following Gujarat Titans' (GT) dominant eight-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), opener Sai Sudharsan hailed pacer Mohammed Siraj as a "game-changer" for his match-winning performance. Siraj, making his return to the Chinnaswamy Stadium in GT colours, rattled his former team with a fiery three-wicket haul on Wednesday, setting the foundation for an easy chase of 170 runs.
Speaking in a video posted on the official IPL website alongside GT’s batting coach Parthiv Patel, Sudharsan praised Siraj’s impact. "I only believe in Siraj bhai. He is a game-changer. The attitude and energy he brings, it changes the whole team. I enjoyed it. I had a feeling he would have a great game because he is a game-changer," he said.

On his own contribution with the bat — scoring a solid 49 off 36 balls — Sudharsan added, "Feels great. Always great to contribute for the team and get those two points. The first two games they played really well. It is a great boost for us to beat the team which is in a good rhythm, and I hope we continue to play the way we play."

Sudharsan, the second-highest run-getter in IPL 2025, has amassed 186 runs in three matches at an average of 62.00 and a strike rate of over 157. He also credited the GT team environment, saying, "It does not feel like an IPL set-up; it feels like a family."
After the match, RCB and GT now share identical records so far in the season — two wins and a loss each — placing them third and fourth, respectively, on the points table.
