Gujarat Titans Cruise Past Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 Clash
Gujarat Titans (GT) secured a dominant 7-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their IPL 2025 encounter at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, handing SRH their fourth consecutive defeat.
SRH’s Batting Struggles
SRH managed 152/8 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first, with Mohammed Siraj (4/17) wreaking havoc early. Travis Head (8 off 5) fell in the first over, while Abhishek Sharma (9 off 7) and Ishan Kishan (17 off 14) failed to convert starts. Nitish Kumar Reddy top-scored with 31, but SRH’s aggressive approach backfired as wickets tumbled regularly.
GT’s Clinical Chase
Shubman Gill anchored the chase with an unbeaten 61* off 48 balls, supported by Washington Sundar’s brisk 49 off 32. GT reached 153/3 in 16.4 overs, with SRH’s Mohammed Shami (2/28) providing brief resistance. Sai Sudharsan (15) and Jos Buttler (18) contributed before Sherfane Rutherford (9*) joined Gill to seal the win.

Mohammed Siraj: His 4-wicket haul dismantled SRH’s top order, including crucial dismissals of Head and Aniket Verma.
Shubman Gill: The GT skipper steadied the chase, hitting 6 fours and a six to ensure a comfortable victory.
Washington Sundar: His 49 off 32 accelerated GT’s middle overs, featuring 5 fours and 2 sixes.
Aftermath
