In the IPL 2026 match played in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat Titans outclassed the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs in a one-sided contest. With this win, GT moved to the top of the points table and also improved their net run rate. Batting first after losing the toss, Gujarat did not begin well. Shubman Gill scored only 5, while Jos Buttler was also dismissed early, leaving the side under pressure inside the powerplay.
Sai Sudharsan handled the situation calmly and played a valuable knock of 61 runs from 44 balls. He built the innings patiently before increasing the scoring rate later on. Washington Sundar provided strong support in the middle order with a quick 50 off 33 balls, pushing Gujarat to 168/5 in 20 overs. Chasing 169, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a terrible start and never recovered. Mohammed Siraj removed Travis Head in the opening over and bowled a wicket maiden.
Kagiso Rabada then added more damage by taking 3 wickets, while Jason Holder also picked up 3. SRH’s main batters, including Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen, all failed to get going. The innings ended at just 86 in 14.5 overs, which became Sunrisers Hyderabad’s lowest score in IPL history. Gujarat’s bowlers controlled the match from the beginning and sealed an easy victory.
