Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans Match Scorecard

GT Batting Strength – Gill Anchors GT’s Chase with Class

Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 61 off 43 balls guided GT to a comfortable victory. He played a captain’s knock, steadying the chase after early losses. Gill scored his fifty in 36 balls, blending elegance and composure. His partnership with Washington Sundar built the foundation for success. Gill finished the game with Sherfane Rutherford, showcasing his leadership. This knock ensured GT chased 153 with 20 balls to spare.

Washington Sundar’s Explosive Impact

Washington Sundar smashed 49 off 29 balls, falling one short of a maiden IPL fifty. Batting at No. 4, he attacked in the powerplay, scoring 23 off nine balls. He hit Simarjeet Singh for two sixes and two fours in one over. His 90-run stand with Gill swung the momentum GT’s way. Washington’s aggression contrasted his usual bowling role, proving his versatility. He holed out in the 14th over, but his job was done.

Supporting Roles from Siraj, Sai Kishore and Rutherford

R Sai Kishore’s 2 for 24 in four overs effectively stifled SRH’s middle order. He dismissed Klaasen for 27 with a skidding dart that hit the stumps. Reddy’s 31 ended when Sai Kishore had him caught in the deep. Sherfane Rutherford’s unbeaten 35 off 16 balls finished the chase stylishly. His late flurry included powerful shots, sealing GT’s dominance. Both players complimented the starring trio perfectly.

Rashid Khan went wicketless again, finishing with 4-0-31-0, his third straight game without a scalp. His IPL 2025 figures stand at 1 for 143 in 14 overs, costing 10.21 per over. Nitish Reddy and Klaasen punished his errors in length with boundaries. In contrast, Siraj, Sai Kishore, and Prasidh Krishna (2 for 25) excelled. GT’s bowling depth outshone SRH’s attack, securing the win. This disparity highlighted GT’s superior game plan.

Conclusion

Gujarat Titans’ seven-wicket triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6, 2025, was a masterclass in execution. Mohammed Siraj’s 4 for 17 dismantled SRH’s batting, limiting them to a modest 152 for 8. SRH’s fourth consecutive defeat exposed their inability to adapt on a slow Hyderabad pitch. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma’s early dismissals set a grim tone, with only Pat Cummins showing fight late on. In reply, Shubman Gill’s composed 61 not out off 43 balls anchored GT’s chase effortlessly.

Washington Sundar’s 49 off 29 balls injected momentum, nearly earning him a fifty. Contributions from Sai Kishore and Sherfane Rutherford rounded off a polished GT performance. This win, completed with 20 balls remaining, solidified GT’s third straight victory in IPL 2025. SRH, conversely, remains rooted at the bottom, desperate for solutions. Siraj’s resurgence, Gill’s leadership, and Sundar’s flair underscored GT’s superiority in this clash. The match reaffirmed GT’s title credentials while deepening SRH’s season-long crisis.
