Washington Sundar’s Match-Winning Innings Sparks Internet Buzz
In a fiery IPL 2025 showdown at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Washington Sundar delivered a scintillating all-round performance for the Gujarat Titans. Coming in at number four, Sundar unleashed a counter-attack to hammer 49 runs off just 29 deliveries, smashing five elegant boundaries and two towering sixes to chase down Sunrisers Hyderabad’s modest target of 153.
With his aggressive yet calculated innings, Sundar not only sealed a seven-wicket victory for Gujarat Titans in just 16.4 overs but also silenced critics who questioned his place in the team.

A Clever Social Media Comeback Goes Viral
While Washington Sundar’s knock drew admiration from fans and pundits alike, the Gujarat Titans social media team had something else brewing. Seizing the moment, they revisited a humorous tweet from Google CEO Sundar Pichai, which had surfaced a couple of weeks earlier when Washington was yet to make it into the playing XI.
At the time, Pichai had jokingly responded to a puzzled fan on X (formerly Twitter), who had questioned Washington Sundar’s non-selection. The lighthearted remark gained traction, but the Titans weren’t going to forget it.
Soon after Sundar’s heroics against SRH, the franchise cleverly responded to Pichai’s old tweet with a cheeky caption, bringing the moment full circle. The post quickly went viral, earning thousands of likes and retweets, and adding a humorous twist to the cricketer’s triumphant return.
