How Gujarat Titans' Bowlers Are Fueling the Gill-Sai Sudharsan Show in IPL 2025

Updated: May 18, 2025 | IPL 2025 Blog

The Gujarat Titans (GT) are performing brilliantly in IPL 2025. While the spotlight is on the batting partnership of Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan, the true foundation of their success is built by GT’s exceptional bowling unit.

Let’s understand how GT’s bowlers are making it easier for their batters to dominate every match.

The Power of GT’s Bowling Unit

GT’s bowlers have become one of the most consistent and disciplined units in this season. Under head coach Ashish Nehra, the team follows a simple but powerful strategy: bowl tight lines, stick to your strengths, and avoid giving easy runs.

Key bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan, and R Sai Kishore are executing this plan perfectly in every match.

What Makes GT’s Bowling Stand Out?

Here are the reasons GT’s bowling attack is helping the team win consistently:

They rarely bowl loose deliveries that the batters can easily hit for boundaries.
They build pressure by maintaining control over line and length.
They use the right bowlers at the right time, based on the match situation.
They avoid leaking runs in the death overs, which is crucial in T20 cricket.

This allows GT to restrict opponents to lower scores, giving their batters more freedom and less pressure during the chase.

How GT’s Bowling Helps the Batters

In a recent match against Delhi Capitals, GT chased down a target of 200 runs without losing a wicket. Gill scored 93* and Sai Sudharsan made 108* in a record-breaking partnership.

They didn’t need to take unnecessary risks because they knew the bowlers had already done their job by keeping the target manageable.

When bowlers restrict runs, batters don’t need to go all-out from the first ball. This leads to smarter batting, higher strike rates, and more wins.

Strong Stats Behind GT's Success

Here are some numbers that show the impact of GT’s bowlers:

Gill and Sai Sudharsan have scored 839 runs as a pair in IPL 2025.
Their average is over 76, with seven 50-plus stands and three 100-plus partnerships.
GT has restricted most teams under 200 this season.
The bowlers have performed consistently, even on flat batting pitches.

A Balanced Team Wins Championships

Gujarat Titans are not winning just because of their top-order batters. Their success is a result of a well-balanced team where:

The bowling unit controls the game early on.
The batters play confidently without extra pressure.
The support staff, especially the coach, keeps every player focused and disciplined.

This structure has made GT the first team to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs.

Conclusion

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are among the top batters in IPL 2025, but it is GT’s bowlers who are setting the stage for their success. The bowlers are keeping things tight, allowing the batters to play freely and finish matches with ease.

If Gujarat Titans lift the IPL trophy this year, their bowling unit will be a big reason behind that victory.
