In the top-of-the-table IPL clash between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad, the pressure was on the Titans’ bowlers to defend a total of 168 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Kagiso Rabada led the charge with a three-wicket burst, supported by Mohammed Siraj, Jason Holder, and Prasidh Krishna, as SRH were bowled out for just 86 runs. GT’s victory propelled them to the top of the points table with a tally of 16.
Opening batsmen Sai Sudarshan and Washington Sundar played crucial knocks to lift GT from a shaky start, adding 60 runs in the middle overs. Rabada and Siraj’s early breakthroughs set the tone for GT, reducing SRH to 32/4 in the Powerplay. Rabada finished with figures of 3/28, while Siraj bowled a tight spell to strangle the SRH batting lineup.
Despite Heinrich Klaasen’s efforts, SRH’s hopes were dashed as GT’s bowlers dominated the proceedings. SRH captain Pat Cummins’ decision to bowl first backfired as his team struggled against the disciplined bowling attack. The win marked GT’s sixth victory over SRH in the overall rivalry.
