Hyderabad, April 6, 2025 – Gujarat Titans (GT) rode on a blistering four-wicket haul by Mohammed Siraj and a match-winning partnership between Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar to register a convincing 7-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their IPL 2025 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.
Opting to bowl first, Gujarat Titans got off to a dream start with Siraj striking in the very first over, setting the tone for a relentless bowling effort. Siraj returned remarkable figures of 4 for 17 in his 4 overs, dismantling the SRH top order with precision and pace.
SRH never recovered from the early blows, despite a gritty 31-run effort from Nitish Reddy. The support cast for GT’s bowling unit – R Sai Kishore (2/24) and Prasidh Krishna (2/25) – ensured the hosts were restricted to a modest 152/8 in 20 overs.
Defending a below-par total, SRH did manage to apply some pressure early in GT’s chase, reducing them to 16 for 2 with quick wickets. But Washington Sundar, in a rare display of aggressive batting, counter-attacked with a 49-run blitz off 29 balls, turning the momentum in GT’s favor.
Shubman Gill, the GT captain, held firm at one end, anchoring the innings with a classy 61 not out off 43 deliveries. The pair’s calculated aggression and composure ensured Gujarat cruised to the target with 11 balls to spare.
Key Highlights:
- Mohammed Siraj: Player of the Match for his fiery spell (4/17)
- Shubman Gill: Steady and stylish, anchoring GT’s chase with 61*
- Washington Sundar: Game-changing knock under pressure (49 off 29)
- GT remain strong playoff contenders with this comprehensive win
Gujarat Titans continue to build momentum in IPL 2025, while SRH are left to rethink their batting strategies after yet another underwhelming performance.
