The ongoing IPL 2025 witnessed two amazing centuries in a single match, during the Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans game in Delhi. In the first innings, the veteran DC wicketkeeper-batter played an unbeaten knock of 112 runs off 65 balls, with 14 fours and four sixes. Later in the second innings, young GT opener Sai Sudharsan played a match-winning knock of 108 runs off just 61 balls, with 12 fours and four sixes.
