Bizarre Dismissal: Sai Sudharsan's IPL Nightmare
31 May
Summary
- Sai Sudharsan was dismissed hit-wicket in consecutive IPL matches.
- His captain, Shubman Gill, was visibly stunned by the unusual dismissal.
- Gujarat Titans secured a seven-wicket victory in the Qualifier 2 match.
In a peculiar turn of events during IPL 2026 Qualifier 2, Gujarat Titans' Sai Sudharsan was dismissed hit-wicket for the second match in a row. This rare dismissal, where the batter's bat strikes the stumps after contact, saw him become the first player in IPL history to achieve this dubious record in consecutive innings.
Shubman Gill, batting at the non-striker's end, was visibly shocked by the incident. Gujarat Titans were chasing a formidable 215 set by Rajasthan Royals, with openers Gill and Sudharsan building a significant partnership.
However, Sudharsan's innings ended abruptly when his bat flew backward and dislodged the bails. Despite this, Gujarat Titans comfortably chased down the target with a seven-wicket win. They now advance to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final.
