GT vs SRH LIVE: Pitch report here –

“It’s the second time that this surface is being used – 196 played 160 – GT v Mumbai Indians, GT winning. It (pitch) looks beautiful. The first game they (GT) lost against the Punjab Kings and the reason behind that was they were out-batted by the explosive power the Punjab Kings had, GT couldn’t match it. The shift to the black soil suits their template, it suits their style of play. There’s a lovely covering of grass tonight and there’s a little bit of a subplot – Pat Cummins captained Australia to a World Cup win on this very wicket. So he’ll know how to adapt to conditions. Things like slower balls into the wicket, getting spin introduced early, being as variable to try and take those wickets at the top of the order. Protect one side, be as aggressive as you can with the other. Little short one side here,” said Nick Knight and Eoin Morgan ahead of toss.

GT vs SRH LIVE: 15 minutes to toss

We are just 15 minutes away from toss time at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Shubman Gill will lead the hosts, while Pat Cummins will captain the away side. Expect the toss-winning captain to opt to bowl, as has been the norm in IPL 2025.

GT vs SRH LIVE: What changes will the teams make?

Gujarat Titans are unlikely to keep Karim Janat in their XI after he conceded 30 runs in his only over against RR, and he could make way for Sherfane Rutherford to come back in. Arshad Khan could come in for Ishant Sharma.

On the other hand, SRH are likely to stick with the same team.

GT vs SRH LIVE: Ishan Kishan’s poor form

It has been a tough season for SRH No. 3 Ishan Kishan. After starting the season with a brilliant century, Kishan has managed only two more double-digit scores in the entire season. SRH will be hoping that Kishan can find his rhythm against GT.

Seconds away from sending them out of the park!

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: Buttler 12 runs away from big feat

Gujarat Titans talisman Jos Buttler is 12 runs away from reaching 4,000 runs in the IPL. With the form he has been in, you’d expect him to reach the milestone tonight. He has slammed 406 runs in 9 matches this year, and has been extremely reliable for his franchise.

GT vs SRH LIVE: What is the H2H record?

Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad have faced each other 5 times previously in IPL history, with Gujarat winning three times and Sunrisers winning once. One of their games ended in a no-result. When the two teams met earlier in IPL 2025, GT won with ease as SRH suffered a batting collapse and Shubman Gill struck a fifty.

GT vs SRH LIVE: Contrasting bowling attacks

While Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling has struggled, Gujarat Titans have three bowlers with 12 or more wickets this season, in the form of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and R Sai Kishore. However, in recent matches, Sai Kishore hasn’t been trusted to bowl his full quota on a regular basis.

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: Pressure on SRH bowling

A big let-down for SRH in IPL 2025 has been their bowling. Mohammed Shami has majorly looked a shadow of his best, Pat Cummins has leaked runs, and their first-choice spinners haven’t worked, leading to Adam Zampa not being in the XI.

GT vs SRH LIVE: Inconsistent Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH batters, particularly their two openers, have suffered from inconsistency in IPL 2025. Travis Head has one half-century but three single-digit scores in his last 6 innings. Abhishek Sharma smashed one of the all-time great IPL knocks of 141, but even he has three single-digit scores in his last 6 innings.

GT vs SRH LIVE: GT’s sensational Top 3

Gujarat Titans’ top three comprising of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have been excellent in IPL 2025. Sai Sudharsan has amassed 456 runs in 9 matches, while Buttler has 406 and Gill has 389. Together, GT’s top three has ensured that their slightly weak middle order on paper cannot be exposed.

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: Can GT go top?

GT missed a chance to go top of the table, but can solidify their playoff spot even more with a win today. Victory tonight would take Shubman Gill’s side to 14 points, on the verge of qualification. A huge victory could even see them go top.

GT vs SRH LIVE: Gujarat Titans recovering from Vaibhav Suryavanshi shock

Gujarat Titans were handed out a hammering by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in their previous match. Suryavanshi smashed 101 off 38 balls, blowing away the opposition and the minds of everyone watching the knock. GT had set RR a target of 210, which was chased down in just 15.5 overs.

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad LIVE: Can ‘Travishek’ fire?

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s all-conquering opening duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma has struggled for consistency in IPL 2025. Yes, we have seen flashes, but not them not firing in multiple matches has been the reason behind SRH suffering a top-order collapse in many matches. For SRH to pull off a miracle comeback, ‘Travishek’ must fire.

GT vs SRH LIVE: Must-win for SRH

Every game from now on is a near must-win match for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who cannot afford any slip-ups having lost 6 matches out of 9. Last time out, Sunrisers kept their fading playoff hopes alive with a crucial victory over CSK.
