Imagine Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler batting together, dismantling bowling attacks with their class and power. Fast forward to March 2025, what seemed like a dream is now reality. The TATA IPL Mega Auction has brought Buttler into our squad, along with the explosive Sherfane Rutherford to add more firepower. With Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Shahrukh Khan by their side, our batting line-up is stronger than ever. We’re ready for an exciting IPL 2025!

The TATA IPL Mega Auction was a huge success, and we've built a formidable squad for the 2025 season. The addition of Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford has taken our batting strength to new heights. With this powerhouse lineup, we believe we have what it takes to win the title.

Jos Buttler needs no introduction. One of the most destructive batters in world cricket, he is a game-changer on any given day. With 3582 IPL runs, including seven centuries, his record is phenomenal. Notably, in 2024, he single-handedly chased down a massive target against KKR, and his 2022 season, where he scored 863 runs and four centuries, tied Virat Kohli’s record for the most centuries in a single IPL season. Buttler was also a key figure in England’s T20 World Cup victory in 2022. His T20I stats are equally impressive, with 3389 runs at a strike rate of 147.02. Adding such a proven performer to our line-up, especially alongside Shubman Gill at the top, is an exciting prospect for the 2025 season.

Shubman Gill has quickly become one of the brightest stars in Indian cricket. Since his debut in 2019, he has played several iconic innings, including the unforgettable 91 at the Gabba in 2021, which showcased his immense maturity under pressure. A key player for Gujarat Titans, Gill has been instrumental in our success, scoring 483 runs in 2022 and playing a pivotal role in our title win, including an unbeaten 45 in the final. In 2023, he elevated his game further, amassing 890 runs and three centuries, including a brilliant knock in Qualifier 2 to lead us to another final. His 2024 season saw him score a century against Chennai Super Kings. Now captaining the side, Gill continues to inspire with his performances and leadership. The prospect of him opening with Jos Buttler is sure to be a thrilling sight in the 2025 season.

Sai Sudharsan has made remarkable strides since joining us ahead of IPL 2022. He displayed his talent early on, scoring 145 runs in just five games, including a composed unbeaten 65*. In 2023, he truly announced himself, amassing 362 runs, highlighted by a magnificent 96 in the final against Chennai Super Kings. Though the knock went in vain, his potential was undeniable, earning him a call-up to the Indian team. Sai made an immediate impact with back-to-back fifties in his first two ODIs against South Africa. His 2024 season was his most prolific yet, scoring 527 runs in 12 matches, including a stunning century against CSK. With his consistency and ability to rise to the occasion, Sai is an invaluable asset as we head into the 2025 season.

Sherfane Rutherford adds a powerful dimension to our already formidable batting unit. Known for his explosive hitting, Rutherford has been a consistent performer in T20 leagues worldwide, scoring 2471 runs in 153 matches at a strike rate of 134.14. His T20I experience, with a strike rate of 143.14, highlights his ability to perform under pressure. As a lower-order finisher, Rutherford will provide the firepower to close out games, perfectly complementing our star-studded top order.

With such a strong batting line-up, we’re confident about our chances in TATA IPL 2025. From the explosive opening duo of Buttler and Gill to the consistency of Sai Sudharsan and the power-hitting of Rutherford, we have the firepower to take on any opposition. The season promises to be thrilling, and we can’t wait for the action to begin. March 2025 can’t come soon enough!
