Gujarat Titans (GT) all-rounder Washington Sundar stole the show with the bat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) game on Sunday. The 25-year-old making his debut for GT put Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Simarjeet Singh to the sword while chasing 153 runs in the 19th game of IPL 2025 on Sunday.

The incident in question happened in the fourth ball of the sixth over when Sundar went outside the off-stump and scooped the bowler for a six. What made the shot more special was that Sundar didn’t even bother to look at the ball when after he hit it for a six. The audacity behind the shot even had the commentators praising him for the shot. Sundar, had his eyes on the ball while playing the shot and knew his timing had taken the ball over the ropes for a six. 

Bowling the sixth over of the innings, Singh was hit for 20 runs as Sundar helped Gujarat reach 48 runs for the loss of two wickets. The first two balls of the over saw the 25-year-old former SRH player hit Singh for two crisp boundaries. This was followed by a dot ball on each side of two sixes being hit to make it a huge over for the visiting side.

Needing 153 runs to win their third successive game, the Titans were reduced to 16 for two in the fourth over. Mohammed Shami got the first wicket when he had Sai Sudharsan caught by Aniket Verma for five runs. Jos Buttler then fell to Pat Cummins caught by Klaasen for a duck. 

Sundar was sent into bat at number four and the 25-year-old began by his brutal assault against Simarjeet Singh. The left-handed batter couldn’t stop as he went after the SRH bowlers and found good support from skipper Shubman Gill as the pair went past the 50-run stand for the third wicket. 

Earlier in the day, SRH were put into bat first and managed to score just 152 on the board for the loss of eight wickets. Mohammed Siraj led the charge with the ball taking 4/17 from his four overs and also going past the 100-wicket mark in IPL. Nitish Reddy was the best batter for the hosts with 31 runs while Heinrich Klaasen scored 27 runs.
