Record History: How His Numbers Grew
Sudharsan walked into the IPL in 2022 as a 20 year old and scored 145 runs in 5 matches. It was a quiet start, but his technique against both pace and spin already stood out. The next season he announced himself on the biggest stage of all, smashing 96 in the 2023 final against Chennai Super Kings at Ahmedabad, the highest score by an uncapped player in an IPL final.
In 2024 he became a full season regular, scoring 527 runs with his maiden IPL hundred, 103 against Chennai. Then came 2025, his golden year. Sudharsan stacked up 759 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 156.17 to win the Orange Cap, finishing ahead of Suryakumar Yadav, who made 717 runs. His 108 not out against Delhi Capitals in that season is still his highest IPL score. In the same game he and Shubman Gill put on an unbeaten 205 run opening stand, the first Indian pair to score 800 plus runs in an IPL season.
The 2026 season brought another 722 runs, and with a hundred against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on 24 April 2026 he became the fastest batter to 2,000 IPL runs, reaching the mark in just 47 innings and breaking the record of Chris Gayle. Gujarat Titans reached the final again that year, where Sudharsan scored 12 before falling. His tally rose in each of his first four seasons, and his strike rate has climbed almost every year, from 127.19 in 2022 to 157.98 in 2026.
What This Record Tells Us
Two things stand out in Sudharsan numbers. First, his consistency. He has averaged above 45 in four of his five IPL seasons, and he has struck at more than 127 in every single season. That mix of reliability and speed is rare in a young opener, and it is why Gujarat Titans built their top order around him.
Second, his growth is deliberate. His strike rate has climbed almost every season, from 127.19 in 2022 to 157.98 in 2026, while his fifty count rose from one to eight. He is scoring faster without losing the solidity that made him successful early on. The numbers say he is still getting better.
