In a power-packed encounter at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat Titans outclassed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs on May 2, 2025, continuing their strong campaign in IPL 2025. A fiery opening partnership and clinical bowling helped the Titans secure a comprehensive win in front of a roaring home crowd.
Gujarat Titans posted a formidable total of 224/6 in 20 overs, riding on stellar knocks from their top-order batters. Skipper Shubman Gill led from the front, smashing a blistering 76 off 38 balls, laced with 10 boundaries and 2 sixes. He found excellent support in Jos Buttler, who played with flair and aggression, scoring 64 off 37 balls, which included 3 fours and 4 towering sixes.
Despite the onslaught, Jaydev Unadkat stood out for Sunrisers Hyderabad with a remarkable bowling effort. He returned figures of 3/35 in 4 overs. His performance helped stem the flow of runs in the death overs and prevented GT from pushing past the 230 mark.
In reply, Sunrisers Hyderabad could manage only 186/6 in 20 overs, falling short by 38 runs. Abhishek Sharma played a valiant knock at the top, hammering 74 off 41 balls with 4 boundaries and 6 sixes, keeping SRH in the hunt during the first half of the chase. However, the lack of substantial partnerships and disciplined bowling from GT derailed their momentum. Heinrich Klaasen added 23 off 18 balls, but the mounting required run rate proved too much for the SRH middle order to overcome.
Gujarat Titans’ bowlers kept their cool in the second innings, executing their plans to perfection. Prasidh Krishna was the standout performer, delivering a tight spell of 2/19 in 4 overs, applying pressure in key phases of the game. The rest of the attack supported him well, ensuring SRH never truly threatened the chase.
