Shaun Pollock picked Gujarat Titans’ Sai Sudharsan over rest of the pack as the best batter of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. In a video, the former South African captain played an eliminator game format to cycle through the options.
It started with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer in which the ex-all-rounder picked the Rajasthan Royals player Jaiswal. In the subsequent steps in the snap video posted by Cricbuzz, he would pick through options like Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rohit Sharma, Jos Buttler, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav.

Buttler would edge multiple competitors, per Pollock, before being dethroned by Sai Sudharsan. The Gujarat Titans left-hander would then eclipse Priyansh Arya and KL Rahul.
Sai Sudharsan is at the top of the Orange Cap standings as of April 27 with 417 runs in the season from eight matches. He’s scored an average of 52.13 and at a brisk strike rate of 152.18. He’s piled up five fifties this season – same as Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Kohli.
