SRH vs GT Match Highlights: The 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) was played on Sunday, 6 April, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT). Winning the toss and electing to bat first, SRH managed only 152 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. In response, Gujarat Titans comfortably chased down the target, reaching the total with seven wickets remaining and 20 balls to spare. This is Hyderabad's fourth consecutive defeat. Hyderabad's only win was a high-scoring match against Rajasthan Royals. Since then, they have suffered losses against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and now Gujarat.

Following the defeat, Pat Cummins blamed the pitch, stating that it was difficult for his fast bowlers.

It was extremely difficult for our fast bowlers - Cummins

After the match, Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins commented on his home ground, saying that the Hyderabad wicket is a bit challenging. He added that taking a few early wickets puts you in the game. The ball wasn't spinning much. There was some dew in the second innings, but they batted really well. He further stated that it was extremely difficult for his fast bowlers today.

Bowlers are the deciders of the game - Gill

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said that bowlers are the deciders of the game, especially in this format. Many people talk about big hitters, but bowlers win you matches. We wanted to play shots all around the ground, which was discussed between me and Washington Sundar. Regarding Sundar not playing in the Mumbai match, Gill said that although Sundar was wearing his pads, the impact player rule necessitates changing plans frequently.

Praise for Siraj's bowling and fielding

Gill praised Sundar's batting, stating it was about playing good cricketing shots, and once they had a 30-40 run partnership, the match was firmly in their favour. He also spoke highly of Mohammed Siraj's aggressive energy in both bowling and fielding.
