Sudharsan-Sundar Partnership — GT's Last-Over Heist Against PBKS

4 May 2026Gujarat Titans vs Punjab KingsIPL 2026 — Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings1 min readSeverity: Mild

Summary

Gujarat Titans' 4 May 2026 last-over win against Punjab Kings was constructed by two innings: Sai Sudharsan's anchoring fifty in the chase, and Washington Sundar's match-finishing 40 not out off 23 balls including the scoop-six off Marcus Stoinis. The two innings together formed one of the season's most complete last-over chases.

What Happened

Sudharsan opened and stayed. His fifty kept the chase under control through the middle overs and gave the side the platform to set up the death-overs sprint. Sundar walked in at the right point and built quickly, taking the equation down to manageable territory before the scoop six finished the match in the last over.

The partnership analysis is as instructive as the individual scores. Sudharsan's risk-management at the top of the chase, Sundar's calculated escalation in the middle and his decisive scoop at the end, formed a textbook chase template that GT will return to throughout the playoffs.
