IPL 2025 After KKR vs GT: Gujarat Titans Rule the Roost, Sudharsan & Prasidh Take Over the Caps!
If You Blinked, You Missed Greatness
Let me tell you something — if you didn’t watch the KKR vs GT match last night, you missed an absolute masterclass. Not just in cricket, but in strategy, composure, and a little bit of that GT swagger we’ve all come to love.
I was sipping chai at my friend’s place, arguing over who’s more dependable — Virat in his prime or Sudharsan now — when bam! the Titans unleashed a batting blitz that made even the staunchest KKR fans in the room nod in reluctant admiration.
By the time we wrapped up our samosas, Gujarat had already made it clear: they’re not just here to compete, they’re here to dominate.
Gujarat Titans Sit Pretty at the Top – IPL 2025 Points Table Update

GT’s balance? Impeccable. Top-order runs, middle-order cameos, and bowlers that deliver under pressure.
Orange Cap: Sudharsan’s Season of Stardom
Okay, real talk — Sai Sudharsan is not just having a good season; he’s crafting a legacy.
Scoring 417 runs in 8 matches at an average of 52.12, this left-hander has become the most reliable cog in GT’s batting wheel. What really stands out? He’s passed 50 five times already. Five!
His knock of 52 off 36 balls last night wasn’t just about flair — it was clinical, like a surgeon cutting through a fragile KKR bowling unit.
Top 5 Run-Scorers – Orange Cap Leaderboard
| Rank | Player | Team | Runs | Avg | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | Sai Sudharsan | GT | 417 | 52.12 | 152.19 |
| 2️⃣ | Nicholas Pooran | LSG | 368 | 52.57 | 205.59 |
| 3️⃣ | Jos Buttler | GT | 356 | 71.20 | 165.58 |
| 4️⃣ | Suryakumar Yadav | MI | 333 | 55.50 | 162.44 |
| 5️⃣ | Virat Kohli | RCB | 322 | 64.40 | 140.00 |
Honestly, if you're not watching Sudharsan bat this season, you’re missing poetry in motion.
Purple Cap: Prasidh’s Pace & Precision
And then there’s Prasidh Krishna, who’s been quietly but ruthlessly stacking up wickets like a boss.
His spell of 2 for 25 against KKR may not look flashy on paper, but on that tacky Kolkata pitch? Gold dust. With 16 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 14.12, he now leads the Purple Cap charts.
Here’s the thing — Prasidh isn’t just bowling fast, he’s bowling smart. Yorkers, slower ones, back-of-the-hand stuff — he’s got it all working this season.
Top 5 Wicket-Takers – Purple Cap Leaderboard
| Rank | Player | Team | Wickets | Avg | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | Prasidh Krishna | GT | 16 | 14.12 | 4/41 |
| 2️⃣ | Kuldeep Yadav | DC | 12 | 14.58 | 3/22 |
| 3️⃣ | Noor Ahmed | CSK | 12 | 17.25 | 4/18 |
| 4️⃣ | Sai Kishore | GT | 12 | 16.33 | 3/30 |
| 5️⃣ | Josh Hazlewood | RCB | 12 | 20.17 | 3/14 |
What’s better than one in-form bowler? Two. GT’s got both Prasidh and Sai Kishore firing, and let’s not forget Rashid Khan’s resurgence last night. Chills.
KKR’s Troubles Continue
Let’s not sugarcoat it — KKR are in a free fall. After getting bundled out for 95 in their last game, they barely put up a fight chasing 198 this time.
From Gurbaz’s early exit to Russell’s mistimed slog, the Knights looked completely out of rhythm. With 5 losses in 8 games, their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread.
Quick Takeaways
- GT = Balanced Brilliance. They’ve cracked the T20 code this season.
- Sudharsan is Orange Cap’s crown prince. Consistent, calm, and clutch.
- Prasidh is peaking. And that’s scary for the opposition.
- KKR need a reboot. Fast.
