Sai Kishore: IPL Demands a Higher-Stakes Mindset Than TNPL or SMAT

The Gujarat Titans spinner frames his approach as delivering the same quality everywhere.

Overview

  • He says one good IPL season can secure a career and describes the league’s pressure to perform as relentless.
  • In IPL 2025 he took 19 wickets in 15 matches, emerging as Gujarat Titans’ leading spinner ahead of Rashid Khan.
  • He argues that the IPL is tougher on skill, whereas TNPL can be more challenging psychologically because complacency can creep in after the IPL.
  • He likens his standard across tournaments to an A. R. Rahman concert, insisting the quality must remain the same in every venue.
  • His recent workload spans leagues, with 12 wickets at a 5.44 economy while captaining IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in the TNPL and 11 wickets in four innings for Surrey in the County Championship.
