Sai Sudharsan, playing for Gujarat Titans, has become the first batter in Indian Premier League (IPL) history to be dismissed hit-wicket on two occasions. His latest unfortunate dismissal occurred during the Qualifier 1 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he scored only 14 runs, contributing to the team's overall collapse in a daunting chase of 255 runs. Sudharsan's bizarre dismissal came in the 15th delivery of the innings when his bat slipped from his grip, striking the stumps and leading to a hit-wicket dismissal. This incident marked a significant moment in the match, as Gujarat Titans were already under pressure after losing their captain Shubman Gill for just 2 runs. Interestingly, Sudharsan had previously been dismissed in the same manner during IPL 2022 against Mumbai Indians, where he also scored 14 runs. His unique record highlights the challenges and unpredictability of cricket, especially in high-stakes matches.
