The Rescue Act:
Sudharsan and Sundar Steady the Ship
The night didn’t start as planned for the home side. SRH’s bowlers found early movement, removing the dangerous opening duo of Shubman Gill (5) and Jos Buttler (7) within the powerplay.
With GT reeling, Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar stepped up with a gritty, high-stakes partnership. Both batters notched crucial half-centuries, navigating a tricky middle-overs period to guide the Titans to a competitive total of 168/5. Sudharsan’s 61(44) and Sundar’s 50(33) proved to be the bedrock of the GT innings.
Powerplay Carnage: Rabada and Siraj Stun SRH
Chasing 169, the “Orange Army” saw their chase derailed before it ever truly began. Mohammed Siraj set the tone by dismissing Travis Head for a duck in the very first over.
Then came the Kagiso Rabada show. The Player of the Match produced a fiery spell of pace and precision, tearing through the SRH top order. By the end of the powerplay, Hyderabad was gasping at 32/4, with their primary run-getters back in the dugout.

The Final Blows: Holder Cleans Up
Any hopes of a miracle recovery were swiftly extinguished by Jason Holder. The veteran all-rounder dismantled the middle and lower order with a stellar spell of 3/20.
Aside from a defiant but brief 19-run cameo from captain Pat Cummins, the SRH lineup crumbled to 86 all out—their lowest-ever total against the Gujarat Titans.
