Sports News: Gujarat Titans continued their stellar performance in IPL 2025, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets. The match was played at the Uppal Stadium, where Hyderabad, batting first, managed 152 runs. Gujarat Titans displayed excellent batting, achieving the target with 20 balls to spare.
This was Gujarat's third consecutive victory, while Hyderabad faced their fourth consecutive defeat. Captain Shubman Gill's responsible batting and Mohammed Siraj's sharp bowling were instrumental in Gujarat's win.
Siraj's Bowling Spell Wreaks Havoc on SRH
Batting first, Hyderabad could only manage 152 runs in 20 overs. Mohammed Siraj's lethal bowling completely dismantled SRH's batting lineup. He took 4 wickets for just 17 runs, recording his best IPL performance. Siraj dismissed Head, Abhishek, Aniket, and Simarjeet. Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore also took 2 wickets each.
Gill-Sundar's Powerful Partnership
Gujarat's start was shaky. In-form Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler were dismissed cheaply, leaving the team at 16/2. Then, captain Shubman Gill's powerful innings changed the tide. Gill and Washington Sundar forged a b 90-run partnership for the third wicket, rescuing the team from a difficult situation.
Sundar played aggressively, scoring 49 runs off 29 balls, including 5 fours and 2 sixes. Unfortunately, he fell one run short of a half-century, dismissed by Shami, but by then Gujarat was in a commanding position.
Gill's Captain's Knock and Rutherford's Blitz
Gill displayed exemplary captaincy, scoring an unbeaten 61 off 43 balls, including 9 fours. Rutherford added a blistering 35 off 16 balls, finishing the match in the 17th over. During this period, Rutherford smashed 4 fours in one over bowled by Abhishek Sharma, breaking the back of Hyderabad's bowling attack.
With this victory, Gujarat Titans registered their fourth consecutive win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Gujarat now holds a b position in the IPL 2025 points table, while SRH needs serious introspection after their continuous defeats.
