IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans give witty reply to Sundar Pichai after Washington Sundar’s heroics

The IPL franchise dug up an old post from Google CEO Sundar Pichai and responded with a hilarious twist.

“Sundar came. Sundar conquered,” GT posted on X, replying to Pichai’s earlier comment questioning Sundar’s absence from the playing XI.
Back in March, Pichai had replied to a fan frustrated with Sundar’s regular omission from IPL sides, writing, “I have been wondering this too,” with a smiley emoji. On Sunday, Sundar answered the question with his bat.
Promoted to No. 4, the all-rounder smashed 49 off 29 balls, including five fours and two sixes, at a strike rate of 168.97. His aggressive knock pulled GT out of early trouble and helped seal a crucial win. He stitched a 90-run stand with captain Shubman Gill after the team lost two early wickets in the powerplay.
Sundar later thanked the coaching staff for backing him, calling the promotion a “rare opportunity.”
With the internet buzzing, GT’s cheeky nod to Pichai proved that Sundar’s comeback wasn’t just powerful — it was poetic.
