Gujarat Titans delivered a commanding performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs in Match 51 of IPL 2025. Shubman Gill led from the front with a blistering 76, supported by Jos Buttler (64) and Sai Sudharsan (48), powering GT to a massive 224/6. SRH, despite a spirited 74 from Abhishek Sharma, faltered in the chase as GT’s bowlers-Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj-struck at crucial moments. SRH’s fielding lapses and a dramatic middle-order collapse sealed their fate, pushing them to the brink of playoff elimination. Watch.

00:00Sunrises Hyderabad officially become the third franchise after Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan
00:12Royals to get knocked out of IPL 2025. Courtesy to their Dismal Show against Gujarat Titans who
00:18are flying absolutely high. There were question marks after that thumping loss against Rajasthan
00:23Royals. Can Gujarat bounce back? And they did it. And we are still waiting for the day when
00:29Gujarat Titans middle order will get tested. Yet again their top three who are scoring bulk of the
00:34runs for them, again performed against Sunrises Hyderabad, Shubhman Gil, Sai Sudarshan and George
00:41Butler who are doing bulk of the scoring for Gujarat Titans this season. Their dominance just keeps on
00:47rolling. Yes they were playing at Ahmedabad which is obviously a batting paradise but credit to
00:51Sai Sudarshan and Shubhman Gil who are not just flogging. They are playing the actual cricket.
00:56They are rotating the strike. They are finding the gap. They are looking for those boundaries rather
01:01than just six. Even today they scored 82 runs in the power play overs, six overs, 82 runs with just one
01:09six in that. And once Sai Sudarshan departed after his well-made 48 runs after power play overs,
01:15Shubhman Gil, their skipper, kept on attacking from the other end along with their number three,
01:20Joze Butler who has got all the shots in the book. And we saw almost every shot in that particular
01:25innings from Joze Butler. We saw reverse sweeps, we saw ramps, we saw scoops. Almost every cricketing
01:31shot was there in the innings of 64s. And despite the fact Sai Sudarshan, Shubhman Gil and Joze Butler
01:37are totally different players, the trick is rightly working for Gujarat Titans. Their top three are dominating
01:44each and every bowling line-up this season. And one more day where Gujarat Titans middle order haven't
01:49got tested, courtesy to their top three who powered them to the mammoth score of 224. Yes, we know
01:55Ahmedabad is a batting paradise but that score was significant. And nothing is going Sunriser's way.
02:02Muhammad Shami, who is their strike baller, isn't just living up to the expectations. He has been on the
02:07expensive sides more often than not. Along with Pat Cummins, who is also not getting wickets this season,
02:13Harshal Patel looked good in the first few games but today it just wasn't his day. And courtesy to
02:19their Sunrisers lead 224 runs against Gujarat Titans. All eyes were on Trevishek, the pair of Trevis
02:26Head and Abhishek Sharma. Can they do it for Sunrisers Hyderabad? Can they put up a good show?
02:32They started quite well for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In terms of the starts they have got this season,
02:37it was relatively better starts for Sunrisers Hyderabad. But unfortunately for them,
02:42after Trevis Head departed, Ishaan Kishan just couldn't capitalize on that. He scored 13 runs
02:48of 17 balls and they were chasing 225 runs on the board. Abhishek Sharma looked the only silver
02:55lining for Sunrisers Hyderabad as far as their batting department is concerned. But his knock of
03:0170 odd runs just went in vain because he hasn't got any support from any other batter. Be it Henry Klaassen,
03:07be it Trevis Head, be it Ishaan Kishan or be it any other Sunrisers batter, they just couldn't help
03:13Abhishek Sharma in that run chase and courtesy to that Hyderabad fell short. Imagine if you are a
03:20Gujarat Titans and you are defending 224 runs on the board against the mighty batting lineup of Sunrisers
03:26Hyderabad. Add that batting paradise wicket of Ahmedabad and Prashif Krishna just goes for under 20 in his full
03:34quota of four overs, picked up couple of wickets too and with that now he is the leading wicket
03:39taker in this tournament. He is holding that purple cap for Gujarat Titans. And with that statement win
03:45over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans also joined Mumbai Indians and Royal Challenges
03:51Bangaluru in the tally of 14 points. Mumbai Indians right at the top with the 14 points and a better
03:56net run rate. Gujarat Titans at second followed by RCV Royal Challenges Bangaluru at third who will play
04:03their next match against Chennai Super Kings at Chinasomi. And that's all from the game between
04:09Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad at Ahmedabad where Gujarat Titans registered a statement win over
04:15Sunrisers and with that victory they are now second at the points table. Hope you have enjoyed the video,
