Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 21 (ANI): Gujarat Titans (GT) star batter Sai Sudharsan etched his name in the record books.

The Gujarat Titans opener has now recorded back-to-back 600-plus run seasons in the Indian Premier League (IPL), joining an exclusive list featuring legends like Chris Gayle, David Warner, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.

Sudharsan has also matched another major IPL milestone by becoming only the fourth player in tournament history to register five consecutive 50-plus scores in a single season, equaling records held by Virender Sehwag, Jos Buttler and Warner.

Sudharsan achieved this feat in his side's 2026 IPL clash against the five-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Sudharsan slammed a brilliant 84 runs off 53 balls, laced with seven fours and 4 sixes. With this innings, Sudharsan now has 638 runs under his belt, in 14 innings at an impressive average of 49.07.

Coming to the match, a century stand between skipper Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan and a fine half-century from Jos Buttler helped Gujarat Titans (GT) reach a total of 229/4 in 20 overs against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday.

CSK need to chase down 230 runs in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. (ANI)
