Gujarat Titans Roll Over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 Thriller!
Wow, what a game! Gujarat Titans absolutely dominated Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6th at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. It was a seven-wicket win for GT, their third in a row, and it really sent them shooting up the points table. Poor SRH, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing streak. Let's dive into what went down.
GT's Bowling Prowess Shines
Gujarat Titans won the toss and chose to field first, and their bowlers were on fire! Mohammed Siraj was simply unreal, grabbing four wickets for just 17 runs – talk about a Player of the Match performance! Honestly, who saw that coming? SRH’s batting lineup started okay, but things fell apart pretty quickly. Nitish Kumar Reddy (31) and Heinrich Klaasen (27) put up a bit of a fight, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a collapse. Siraj just ripped through them, and SRH ended up on a modest 152/8. It kinda felt like watching a slow-motion trainwreck, you know?
Gill and Sundar Power GT to Victory
Then came GT’s turn at bat, and they made it look easy. Captain Shubman Gill led the charge with a classy 61 not out off 43 balls. Washington Sundar provided some serious explosive support with a quickfire 49 off 29, smashing a couple of sixes along the way. And Sherfane Rutherford? He just added the perfect finishing touch, blasting 35 runs off only 16 balls. They reached the target in 16.4 overs. It was a comfortable win, and really showcased the depth of their batting.
