Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan had a forgettable outing in the Qualifier 1 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru as his innings was cut short by an embarrassing mode of dismissal. Chasing a mammoth target of 255 runs, the Tami Nadu batter was the first batter to depart, after scoring just 14 runs. Sudharsan became the first batter in the history of the IPL to be dismissed via a hit-wicket twice.
Sai Sudharsan gets out hit-wicket for 2nd time
Sudharsan, who was last dismissed due to a hit-wicket in 2022, attempted to cut Jacob Duffy in the third ball of the third over. While the ball did race towards the boundary, the willow slipped from the batter’s hands as he completed the shot and went to crash into the stumps. Sai Su realized that as he completed a run, and in an instant, his 14-run knock off 9 deliveries came to an end.

Sudharsan’s hit-wicket from 2022 also occurred similarly. While he was facing Pollard, he attempted to play a pull shot. While the batter missed, the willow flew out of his bottom hand and went on to strike the stumps. With his dismissal against RCB in Qualifier 1, Sudharsan became the 20th batter to be dismissed via hit-wicket in the IPL.
Sai Su’s dismissal triggered a collapse for GT in the run chase, and the team never recovered from the early blow. Such was the situation that they were reduced to 51/5 at the end of the PP. All bowlers grabbed their chances, too. The best of the lot once again was Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who returned with figures of 2/28, to get the purple cap from Kagiso Rabada. Rasikh Salam and Krunal Pandya also picked up 2 wickets each, while Jacob Duffy ended with 3.
For RCB, Rajat Patidar was the hero with an unbeaten 33-ball 93-run knock, helping the side post 254/5, the highest total in an IPL playoff match. Virat Kohli (43 off 25) and Devdutt Padikkal (30 off 19) set the stage with a 72-run stand for the 2nd wicket. After Jason Holder struck to remove both in the 9th over, Patidar took charge with Krunal Pandya (43 off 28), adding a 95-run stand. In the end, the RCB captain added another 40-run stand off 12 balls with Jitesh Sharma to post the highest total at this venue.
