The Indian Premier League took off as a platform to provide legends and young men alike to produce the stunning feats from their repertoire on the grandest stage possible. Washington Sundar exemplified that goal on Sunday by adding to the IPL’s rich legacy with an iconic shot that shook the nation.
Guajarat Titans steamrolled their way to a comfortable victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on the back of a Mohammed Siraj four-fer that retsricted the hosts to 152/9 in Hyderabad before a rapid 49 from Washington Sundar and Shubman Gill’s half-century saw them through in just the 17th over. The visitors’ 20 boundaries and three maximums featured a brilliant range of shots all around the game in all sorts of manners, but the one that will be remembered for days to come is Washington Sundar’s thrashing to Simarjeet Singh in the sixth over.
Some sense
To whomsoever, thank you for putting some sense into GT management & for picking washi in the side. In a two-pace pitch, he had almost won you the game with a quick 20 run over.
And pls make him bowl, he is that all format indian player for the next 10-12 years, groom him #GTvSRH pic.twitter.com/Mh5RuBi6f9— Thana (@Pitstop387) April 6, 2025

Gill (51*) gets to fifty but Washington falls short, dismissed for 49. 🤌🏻
GT 106/3 in 13.1 overs; need 47 to win off 41 balls. 🤌🏻#SRHvsGT pic.twitter.com/ObGePdkmha— 𝔸𝕓𝕓𝕪_🐬 (@A_b__07) April 6, 2025
