NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans stormed back to form with a commanding 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2025 on Friday. The win was powered by explosive half-centuries from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler , with Prasidh Krishna’s clinical spell capping off a complete performance. The loss all but ended SRH’s playoff hopes, while GT gave their campaign a timely boost.
Batting first, the Titans posted a formidable 224/6, riding on a fiery 87-run opening stand between Gill and Sai Sudharsan. Gill smashed a 38-ball 76, while Sudharsan’s 48 came off just 23 deliveries. Jos Buttler then took over, hammering 64 from 37 balls to power GT past 200.

SRH began their chase positively but failed to maintain momentum, finishing on 186/6. Abhishek Sharma was the lone warrior with a 41-ball 74. Despite his efforts, the asking rate climbed beyond reach, especially after the dismissal of Travis Head via a sensational catch by Rashid Khan, who covered significant ground from deep square leg and changed direction mid-run to grab the ball.
Prasidh Krishna was once again outstanding with the ball, returning figures of 2/19 in his four overs. The only concern for GT was Ishant Sharma limping off the field before completing his spell.
SRH’s bowlers had no answers early on, as Mohammed Siraj leaked 22 runs in his first two overs and Ishant gave away 20 in his first spell. Shubman Gill launched the GT innings with a six off Mohammed Shami and continued to dominate, especially against Pat Cummins, taking 17 off one over that included a powerful six over deep mid-wicket.
Sudharsan toyed with Shami, hitting him for four consecutive boundaries. The pair put on 82 in the powerplay. Leg-spinner Zeeshan Ali finally broke the partnership by having Sudharsan caught behind off a googly.
Gill carried on fluently, reaching his half-century in 25 balls with a stylish drive through extra cover. Buttler, in excellent touch, also crossed the 4000-run milestone in IPL with a towering six off Ansari.
Gill survived a drop on 66 by Cummins off Harshal Patel but was soon run out, thanks to Harshal’s sharp throw from short fine-leg and a clever deflection onto the stumps by Klaasen.
In a tense moment, Gill was seen arguing animatedly with the umpires over a review involving Abhishek Sharma, who tried to pacify the GT skipper.
Ultimately, Gujarat’s clinical batting and disciplined bowling proved too much for SRH, who are now staring at elimination.
