Sunrisers Hyderabad's freefall continued with a 38-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans. Another top order masterclass got Gujarat Titans to a score of 224/6. SRH hardly ever looked capable of chasing it down, finishing with a score of 186/6. 

Overview

  • Gujarat Titans posted 224/6, driven by Shubman Gill's 76 off 38 balls and Jos Buttler's 64 off 37, setting a formidable target for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
  • Sai Sudharsan became the fastest Indian batter to reach 2,000 IPL runs, achieving the milestone in 54 innings, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record of 59 innings.
  • A controversial run-out decision involving Shubman Gill led to a heated exchange with umpires, sparking discussions about officiating consistency.
  • Rashid Khan's spectacular running catch to dismiss Travis Head exemplified GT's strong fielding performance, complementing disciplined bowling led by Prasidh Krishna's 2/19.
  • Sunrisers Hyderabad's lack of partnerships and inconsistent batting left them 38 runs short, putting their playoff chances in jeopardy with only three wins in ten matches.
