WATCH: Sai Sudharsan takes smart low catch to dismiss Ryan Rickelton in MI vs GT game

Gujarat Titans (GT) got off to a perfect start with the ball in their key IPL 2025 game versus Mumbai Indians (MI) on Tuesday night. Mohammed Siraj took the first over and saw Ryan Rickelton get off the mark with two runs. On the very next ball, Siraj tempted the batter to drive the ball on the up and Rickelton was quick to take the bait. 

Sai Sudharsan, who was fielding at covers, took a low catch to get rid of the dangerous Rickelton for two runs. It was a huge moment in the game, considering that Rickelton had scored two successive fifties coming into this game. At the end of six overs, MI were placed at 56 runs for the loss of two wickets.
