B Sai Sudharsan has built a compelling IPL batting résumé in just four seasons with Gujarat Titans, stacking up 1,793 runs off 1,229 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 145. The 23-year-old left-hander has crossed fifty twelve times and converted two of those into scintillating hundreds, including a personal-best 108 that underlined his ability to bat deep. In 40 innings he has threaded 183 fours and cleared the ropes 52 times, showing a blend of timing and power that keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. Having worn the GT jersey every season from 2022 to 2025, Sudharsan has become a fixture at the top of the order, offering both stability and acceleration. With no bowling responsibilities—zero wickets in zero bowling innings—his entire focus remains on crafting match-defining innings, and the numbers confirm he is doing exactly that.

Xavier Bartlett burst onto the IPL stage in the 2025 season with Punjab Kings, immediately stamping himself as a pace bowler to watch. Over four bowling innings the 24-year-old Queenslander sent down ten tight overs, claiming two key wickets at a brisk strike-rate of 30.00. While his economy of 9.6 runs per over shows room for tighter lines, Bartlett’s ability to break partnerships when it matters is clear—he has already produced one one-wicket burst that shifted momentum in PBKS’ favour. With the bat Bartlett showed flashes of lower-order hitting, remaining unbeaten on 11 off 15 balls in his only appearance, striking at 73 and finding the boundary once. Though modest, those runs underlined his value as a genuine all-round option. Fresh off a breakout Big Bash campaign, Bartlett’s first IPL stint has set the stage for bigger returns. Expect the right-arm quick to add to those two scalps and become a core cog in Punjab Kings’ 2025 title push.
