Indian Premiere League
​In Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) secured a dominant seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. This win marked GT’s third consecutive triumph, propelling them to second place on the points table.​
Gujarat Titans’ Bowling Prowess
GT’s bowlers were instrumental in restricting SRH to a modest total. Mohammed Siraj delivered a standout performance, claiming four wickets for 17 runs, including the pivotal dismissals of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aniket Verma, and Simarjeet Singh. This effort not only limited SRH’s scoring opportunities but also saw Siraj reach the milestone of 100 IPL wickets. Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore supported effectively, each taking two wickets and contributing to SRH’s struggles. Heinrich Klaasen’s 27 runs remained SRH’s highest individual score, highlighting the effectiveness of GT’s bowling attack.​
Shubman Gill’s Captaincy and Batting Excellence
In pursuit of SRH’s total, GT’s captain Shubman Gill led from the front with an unbeaten 60 runs off 42 balls, showcasing leadership and composure. Washington Sundar, on his GT debut, added a quick-fire 49 runs off 29 balls, including five boundaries and two sixes, before falling to a spectacular catch. Sherfane Rutherford contributed an unbeaten 35 runs off 16 balls, ensuring GT reached the target with 20 balls to spare.​
Team Performance and Future Outlook
This victory underscores GT’s growing dominance in IPL 2025, with standout performances from both their bowlers and batsmen. The team’s balanced approach and depth in both departments position them as strong contenders in the tournament. GT will aim to maintain this momentum in their upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday, April 9th, while SRH will look to rebound in their next fixture against Punjab Kings on Saturday, April 12th.​
Mohammed Siraj’s Stellar Performance in IPL 2025
Siraj shines in IPL after Bengaluru snub, exclusion from Indian team
Mohammed Siraj went into this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) with difficult questions in his mind after the Indian seamer was released by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and dropped from the national team for their triumphant Champions Trophy campaign.
Four games into the Twenty20 league, Siraj is one of the top performers with nine wickets for his new team Gujarat Titans and is bowling with the speed and accuracy that made him a mainstay at both Bengaluru and the Indian team.
GT will host Rajasthan Royals next on Wednesday, April 9th, while SRH will host Punjab Kings on Saturday, April 12th.
