Shubman Gill is a very competitive captain: Sai Sudharsan praises GT skipper
Gujarat Titans opener B. Sai Sudharsan has heaped praise on skipper Shubman Gill, calling him a "very competitive captain" and someone who brings out the best in his players. Sudharsan credited Gill for his growth and highlighted the strong bond they share as opening partners in IPL 2025."I've always looked up to Shubman in these three years. If I have difficulty in the nets or difficulty facing somebody, I will have a conversation with him about what he feels I can do better. I've grown a lot because of him and by watching him play.

He is somebody who will give players who are facing difficulties a comfort zone, where they can come back stronger. We've shared a lot of memories on the field as well. Hopefully, we create lovely memories this season too," Sudarshan himself has had a solid season, scoring 465 runs. Along with Jos Buttler (470), the trio of Sudharsan, Gill, and Buttler have dominated opposition bowling attacks. Remarkably, at least one of them has scored a half-century in each of GT's 10 matches, with two players hitting fifties in five of those games. This consistency has allowed the Titans to maintain a formidable top order-one that hasn't changed throughout the runs, being more impactful, and doing it at a very good strike rate-that's where the responsibility kicks in for the team. If you're consistent enough to make your team cross the line, that's the most important thing. And the Orange Cap is a by-product. If you think about the Orange Cap, I feel your potential goes down. You restrict yourself a bit more because personal preferences come in front of team preferences," Sai said about his Orange Cap the playoff race heats up, Gujarat Titans find themselves in fourth place with four matches left-two of which will be played at their fortress in Ahmedabad, where they have won four out of five games this season.

Punjab Kings' star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out of their away game against Chennai Super Kings due to a fractured finger, revealed skipper Shreyas Iyer during the coin toss on Wednesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). 'Unfortunate that he's got a fractured finger (Maxwell). Haven't decided on a replacement so far,' Iyer told toss presenter Danny Morrison. Suryansh Shedge replaced Maxwell in the playing XI. Although Iyer used the word 'replacement', it is still unclear whether Maxwell will be able to take part in the remainder of the tournament or not. Maxwell has endured a tough IPL season, scoring just 48 runs in the six innings he batted. With the ball, Maxwell has taken four wickets. Maxwell would have been handy to counter CSK's left-hand batters, Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja. Maxwell bowled two overs for 11 runs and dismissed Rachin Ravindra in the previous meeting between the sides in New Chandigarh. Punjab Kings have 11 points from their nine matches (five wins, one loss and one no result) and are occupying the fifth position in the points table. A win against CSK will take them to second with 13 points. Meanwhile, CSK have named an unchanged XI.
