GT vs SRH LIVE: Ishant walks off

Ishant Sharma is in a lot of discomfort. He had a chance to catch the previous ball, but seems to have picked up a niggle. He hobbles off. Sai Kishore hasn’t been given the ball at all today, but he’ll finish things off.

SRH 184/6 (19.2)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Three sixes!

Rashid Khan has been smashed for three sixes in the penultimate over of the innings. One big blow from Cummins, two smashed by Nitish Reddy. SRH need 44 off the last over, but if they had wickets in hand, maybe they could’ve chased this down.

SRH 181/6 (19)

GT vs SRH LIVE: OUT!

Two in two! Mohammed Siraj is bowling a fine over! Bangs one short, Kamindu goes for a nervy-looking hook but ends up gloving it, and Buttler takes the catch. Siraj is unable to complete his hattrick, though, as Cummins gets a boundary off an inside edge.

SRH 149/6 (17)

GT vs SRH LIVE: OUT!

Aniket Verma departs! Sunrisers lose their fifth wicket. They’re crumbling apart now. Mohammed Siraj is bowling one heck of a final over here. Cross-batted shot by Aniket, top edge and a simple catch by Shahrukh Khan.

SRH 145/5 (16.4)

GT vs SRH LIVE: OUT!

KLASSEN OUT! Big wicket for Gujarat Titans! Prasidh Krishna continues to deliver with the ball. Second wicket of the night for him. Caught behind, Klaasen gloved it and Buttler grabbed it. GT will feel they’re winning this now. 100 T20 wickets for Prasidh.

SRH 141/4 (15.3)

GT vs SRH LIVE: DRS review

Aniket Verma trapped on the pads on the very first ball he faces from Prasidh. Umpire gives not out, but GT go up with a review. Hawkeye shows wickets missing, Aniket survives. The required rate keeps mounting.

SRH 141/3 (15.2)

GT vs SRH LIVE: BIG WICKET!

Abhishek Sharma departs! It’s the wily old fox, Ishant Sharma, who has done the trick. That could be the catch that seals victory for Gujarat Titans! Abhishek departs for a 41-ball 74, Sunrisers need more than 17 per over now.

SRH 139/3 (15)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Gill off the field

Looks like Shubman Gill has gone off the field to take a breather. Rashid Khan will be leading the team in his absence. Harsha Bhogle, on commentary, mentions that the argument was regarding DRS showing umpire’s call on impact. 

GT vs SRH LIVE: 98 needed off 36

Six overs to go, 98 runs needed for the men in orange. Their chances of the playoffs lie rely on this match. They are in a virtual must-win scenario, but must pull off a Herculean run chase tonight. They have the right men for it though.

SRH 127/2 (17)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Gill in a heated chat once again

Shubman Gill is in a heated chat with the umpires once again! Not for the first time today. Remember, he had earlier been left unhappy after being given run out controversially. Why he is upset now is hard to say, seemingly referring to the DRS call. Abhishek has to interfere and ask him to calm down.

GT vs SRH LIVE: SRH need 100 off 39

A mountain to climb for SRH despite having two brilliant batters at the crease. Required run-rate over 15 at this stage, so this will require a mini-miracle. Meanwhile, Prasidh traps Abhishek on the pads, and take a review after the umpire gives not out! It’s close, but umpire’s call stands.

SRH 126/2 (13.4)

GT vs SRH LIVE: What a save!

Rahul Tewatia, that is incredible! Klaasen smashed one through long-off, Tewatia nearly caught a one-handed blinder but threw it back fearing he might touch the rope. He has saved 5 runs though. Astonishing effort. By and large, GT’s fielding has been top notch tonight.

SRH 123/2 (13)

GT vs SRH LIVE: 4, 6 Abhishek!

Abhishek Sharma is smashing Rashid Khan to all parts of the ground here. The left-hander is going all guns blazing at the moment. Rashid isn’t having the best of spells. Can Abhishek take SRH all the way tonight?

SRH 120/2 (12.3)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Six more!

50 for Abhishek Sharma! He gets there in 28 balls. Shifts across his stumps and slaps it over fine-leg for a maximum. Two boundaries and five sixes in his knock. As long as these two are there at the crease, SRH will believe.

SRH 107/2 (11.3)

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: Rashid smashed

Rashid Khan has been taken to the cleaners in his first over. Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen measuring their chances, and both clearing the ropes once each, for a six each. Much-needed big over for SRH, 15 off it. 100 up for SRH.

SRH 100/2 (11)

GT vs SRH LIVE: KISHAN OUT!

Ishan Kishan is gone! Gerald Coetzee strikes, his first wicket in Gujarat Titans’ colours. The left-hander goes having made 13 off 17 balls. A painful stay at the crease comes to an end. SRH need a miracle to win from here.

SRH 82/2 (9.3)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Excellent first over by Washington

Washington Sundar concedes just 6 runs in his first over. Ishan Kishan visibly struggling out there, just isn’t getting the timing on his shots. Trying to go on the back foot, swinging hard on the back foot, but it isn’t connecting. Just one boundary in the last three overs for SRH.

SRH 80/1 (9)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Abhishek survives twice!

Abhishek Sharma has mistimed not once, but twice against Coetzee, but each time the ball drops safely, beyond two fielders running towards it from mid-off. First one, the batters run two. Second one, they run three.

SRH 74/1 (8)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Here comes Coetzee!

Gerald Coetzee has come in to bowl! The highly-rated young South African pacer has come in with a good platform to shine in. Bought for Rs 2.4 crore in the auction, Ashish Nehra had a long chat with him during the timeout. Well, Abhishek swings hard, top edge goes back over the keeper’s head for 4.

SRH 68/1 (7.2)

GT vs SRH LIVE: 57 off the powerplay

It started off well for SRH, but GT have pulled things back in the final two overs of the powerplay. Only 12 runs and a big wicket in the final two overs. SRH manage 57 in the powerplay, and the two Indian left-handers at the crease must contribute a big partnership here.

SRH 57/1 (6)

GT vs SRH LIVE: What a catch!

Rashid Khan, stunner! Travis Head slammed a boundary off the first ball, tries to go big on the second but is denied by a superb diving catch by Rashid Khan, who ran 32m to get to it! SRH miss out on a 50-run partnership by one run. GT’s gamble to put Prasidh Krishna in the powerplay has worked wonders.

SRH 49/1 (4.3)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Stunning shot!

Abhishek Sharma, wow! His third maximum off the day already! Once again, comes down the track, gives himself room and whips it over extra cover for a flat six. 12 comes off Ishant’s over, SRH continue the good start to this chase.

SRH 45/0 (4)  

GT vs SRH LIVE: 4 more!

Ishant Sharma changes his angle, comes in from round the wicket, bowls a slower one and Head dishes out the treatment. Breaks the temporary shackles, slams one down the ground for 4. Next ball is better from Ishant, executes the wide yorker well.

SRH 38/0 (3.3)

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: Good start by SRH

Good start by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the run chase, they’re with the required run-rate early on. Both Abhishek and Head have hit a couple of great shots. They’ll need a lot more of those, and ensure that they manage to post a good opening total today.

SRH 33/0 (3)

GT vs SRH LIVE: 4, Head!

Travis Head gets 4! Short from Siraj and helped towards mid-wicket by Head. The Australian enters double digits, he’s hit a couple of cracking boundaries early on. Can he go on and make a match-winning contribution today?

SRH 32/0 (2.3)

GT vs SRH LIVE: SIX!

Abhishek Sharma ends Ishant Sharma’s over with a maximum! Was a decent over until then, only 4 came off it. However, the final ball is thrashed for six over long-off. Abhishek Sharma with the early momentum in the run chase.

SRH 25/0 (2)

GT vs SRH LIVE: First ball SIX!

Abhishek Sharma slams Siraj for six! First ball of his innings, he gives himself room and whacks it over long-off for a maximum. Great shot. Two balls later, Travis Head thrashes a cover drive for 4! Good start by SRH.

SRH 12/0 (0.4)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Ishant Sharma comes on

Experienced pacer Ishant Sharma got battered by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the previous match, but he has been trusted once again by Ashish Nehra, Shubman Gill and co. He comes on as the Impact Player, replacing Sai Sudharsan. But first, Mohammed Siraj to take the new ball.

GT vs SRH LIVE: Can ‘Travishek’ step up?

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma need to contribute big time today if SRH are to chase this down. The marauding opening duo have been very inconsistent so far this year, but they need to put together a good opening partnership with SRH’s IPL 2025 playoff hopes on the line.   

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: GT 224

Gujarat Titans have put up a great total of 224. Sai Sudharsan and Gill came out of the blocks with great intent. Sai Sudharsan made a fiery 48, but Gill continued on to slam his third half-century in a row. But he missed out on a century yet again, this time due to a controversial run out call. Buttler smashed a brilliant 64 to ensure GT get well-past 200.

GT vs SRH LIVE: OUT!

Rahul Tewatia departs! Unadkat gets his second wicket of the over as Tewatia tries a big shot. Helped by a superb diving catch by Aniket Verma at backward point. And he gets another wicket on the last ball too, Rashid Khan departs for a duck. GT end on 224.

GT vs SRH LIVE: First ball 6!

Rahul Tewatia slams a six off his first ball! Unadkat with a poor delivery, full toss outside the leg-stump. Helped on its way over fine-leg by Tewatia. Gujarat Titans already have 12 off the over, with two balls to go. They are past 220.

GT 224/4 (19.4)

GT vs SRH LIVE: Now Washington!

Washington Sundar gets six! First ball of the final over sent over mid-wicket for a big maximum. Slow, short from Unadkat and pulled for a maximum. But he departs on the next ball, trying another big shot. Departs for 21.

GT 218/4 (19.2)

GT vs SRH LIVE: SIX!

Shahrukh Khan ends the 19th over with a maximum! Cummins had bowled a superb over until then, and it is still a good one in the context of the innings, but Shahrukh has smashed a big one off just the second ball he faced. Over long-on, handsome hit.

GT 212/3 (19)

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: OUT!

Pat Cummins gets Jos Buttler! Buttler departs for a superbly-made 64 off 37 balls. Cummins switches it up, slower one wide outside off-stump. Buttler tries to whack it over the on-side, finds Abhishek Sharma at long-on.

SIX! What a shot by Jos Buttler! Full from Zeeshan Ansari, Buttler drags it out and pummels it over long-on for a maximum. Past 45 now and looks set to bring up yet another half-century. GT’s ever-reliable No. 3 on song.

GT 180/2 (16.2)

GT vs SRH LIVE: 4!

Jos Buttler with a boundary! Gujarat Titans break a duck of three overs without a big hit. Slower, shorter ball by Cummins, pulled by Buttler. One bounce and into the fence for 4. Buttler is getting into his groove with the final few overs to go.

172/2 (16)

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: GT run-rate has dipped

Sunrisers Hyderabad are slowly coming back into the game. GT have managed just 22 runs in the last three overs, losing the key wicket of their captain too. Zeeshan, Unadkat and Kamindu Mendis doing a good job with the ball.
