New Delhi, April 3 (NationPress) The left-handed opener for Gujarat Titans (GT), B. Sai Sudharsan, has stated that R. Sai Kishore's impressive figures of 2-22 in four overs were crucial for their victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, winning by eight wickets and marking their second consecutive triumph in IPL 2025.
At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Kishore skillfully varied his pace and angles to dismiss Jitesh Sharma and Krunal Pandya in rapid succession, effectively quieting RCB during their middle overs.
"We absolutely need to highlight Saiki's performance, as he significantly contributed to this game and several others. In this match, I believe his spell was pivotal, especially on a wicket that posed challenges for fast bowlers. As batters, we were keen to capitalize on what we could achieve against the spinners," said Sudharsan.
"He was astute in his approach, utilizing the appropriate speeds and angles against Tim David and Liam Livingstone. His control over speed and angles was commendable, which is why he excelled in this match," Sudharsan added.
Kishore, who participated in three T20Is for India in 2023, currently ranks fourth in the IPL 2025 wicket-takers list with six wickets in three matches, maintaining an economy rate of 7.41. Despite Rashid Khan conceding over 50 runs, Kishore maintained pressure and continued to take wickets, including a stunning carrom ball that outsmarted Krunal.
When asked what is contributing to Kishore's success in IPL 2025, Sudharsan attributed it to his thorough preparation for each match. "I can confidently say that the effort he invests off the field and his tactical preparation gives him an edge over other bowlers. He comprehends the game, the situations, and effectively utilizes his speed and angles. This is a key strength of his, and it's why he’s performing so well," he remarked.
Sudharsan, who scored 49 in GT’s victory over RCB, is currently second in the run-scorers list for IPL 2025 with 186 runs across three matches, and he believes the tournament has significantly enhanced his T20 skills.
"This is my fourth year in the IPL, and it has provided me with invaluable experience. I've faced challenging conditions and practiced extensively against quality fast bowlers in the nets with GT. The game time and practice I receive here have been instrumental in my development and understanding of T20 batting," he concluded.
