The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season is currently underway, with teams fiercely competing for a playoff spot. The latest match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) saw GT comfortably chasing down SRH’s target to claim a crucial victory. This article provides an update on the current IPL 2025 points table, team rankings, and net run rate after the exciting SRH vs GT clash.
Gujarat Titans’ Comfortable Victory Over SRH
On April 6, 2025, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Gujarat Titans triumphed over Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets in match 19 of IPL 2025. This victory marked a much-needed boost for Gujarat Titans, helping them climb to second place on the points table. On the other hand, this loss added to SRH’s misery, as they suffered their fourth consecutive defeat.
SRH’s Struggles with the Bat
Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a rough start. Thanks to a brilliant four-wicket spell by Mohammed Siraj, SRH was restricted to just 152/8. Siraj was the standout bowler for Gujarat Titans, taking key wickets early on and later adding two more in the middle overs. His excellent performance helped Gujarat Titans keep the SRH batsmen under control.
Despite strong performances from Prasidh Krishna (2/25) and R Sai Kishore (2/24), who also made important breakthroughs, SRH failed to build partnerships. Although there was some resistance from Heinrich Klaasen (27) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (31), their efforts were not enough to push the total past a competitive score.
SRH’s opening pair continued to struggle as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were dismissed cheaply. By the end of the 16th over, SRH was at 105/5, and their hopes of reaching a respectable total faded when they were bowled out for just 152 runs in their 20 overs. Their batting woes were further compounded by a costly over from Ishant Sharma, which allowed SRH to reach 152 from what seemed like a much lower total.
Gujarat Titans’ Successful Chase
Gujarat Titans, chasing a target of 153, had their own early setbacks when Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler were dismissed in quick succession. However, a pivotal 90-run partnership between Shubman Gill (61*) and Washington Sundar (49) placed Gujarat Titans firmly in the lead. Sundar missed a well-deserved fifty by just one run, but his knock helped build the momentum for the chase.
Following Sundar’s exit, Sherfane Rutherford took over and amassed 35 runs in just 16 balls, rendering the game unattainable for SRH. Gujarat Titans completed the chase with 20 balls to spare, and the win moved them up to second place on the points table. SRH’s fourth straight loss highlighted their need for improvements in both their batting and bowling departments.
