GT vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans demolish SRH by 82 runs in one-sided domination

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Pat Cummins admitted Sunrisers Hyderabad were outplayed

Pat Cummins admitted Sunrisers Hyderabad were outplayed by Gujarat Titans after suffering an 82-run defeat in Ahmedabad. The SRH captain acknowledged that Gujarat’s bowling attack produced “as good as T20 bowling as you’re going to see.”

Chasing 169, Hyderabad never settled after losing Travis Head in the very first over. Rabada, Siraj, Holder and Prasidh Krishna kept hitting relentless hard lengths on a sticky surface, leaving SRH’s aggressive batting order with no answers. The visitors eventually crashed to 86 all out — their lowest total of IPL 2026 and the second-lowest score against GT in IPL history.

Cummins said the conditions became tougher during the chase and admitted Gujarat adapted far better to the pitch. “Maybe we could have held our lengths just a little bit longer,” he reflected after the loss. Despite the collapse, the Australian skipper backed his batting group and insisted one poor outing would not define their season.

The defeat also ended SRH’s hopes of comfortably sealing a playoff spot, putting more pressure on their remaining league matches. Meanwhile, Gujarat continued their dominant run with a fifth straight win.

GT have now beaten SRH six times in seven completed IPL meetings, including four victories in Ahmedabad. With momentum firmly on their side and their bowling attack firing consistently, the Titans are looking increasingly dangerous heading into the playoffs.

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Washington Sundar played a crucial role

Washington Sundar played a crucial role in Gujarat Titans posting a match-winning total against Sunrisers Hyderabad on a challenging Ahmedabad pitch. While 168/5 did not appear imposing initially, Sundar revealed that Gujarat always believed it would be enough on the slow surface.

The all-rounder explained that his focus was on understanding the conditions rather than attacking recklessly. “The plan was to not think much,” Sundar said after the match. He added that one batter needed to stay till the end and anchor the innings while others played around him.

Sundar’s composed knock alongside Sai Sudharsan helped Gujarat recover after a cautious start. He also admitted that timing boundaries on the surface required patience, especially against Hyderabad’s disciplined yorkers.

But the biggest talking point remained Gujarat’s incredible bowling display. Sundar praised the team’s ability to adapt quickly to conditions and execute plans under pressure. GT’s bowlers made excellent use of hard lengths, extracting uneven bounce and movement throughout SRH’s chase.

Hyderabad’s powerful batting line-up, which had dominated most attacks this season, was completely neutralised. Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma all fell cheaply as SRH collapsed for their lowest total of IPL 2026.

The emphatic victory once again highlighted why Gujarat Titans are emerging as one of the most balanced and dangerous teams in the tournament.

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Shubman Gill praised his team’s smart assessment of conditions

Shubman Gill praised his team’s smart assessment of conditions after Gujarat Titans outclassed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs in IPL 2026. Gill said GT understood early that the Ahmedabad pitch was far from a high-scoring surface and believed 160-170 would be enough if the bowlers executed their plans.

“That wicket was not easy,” Gill explained after the game. “If we bowl well, we’ll always be in the game.” The captain credited Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar for steering Gujarat close to 170 when the innings looked in danger of falling short.

Gill also lauded the impact of GT’s bowling attack, especially in the powerplay where Siraj and Rabada once again set the tone. Gujarat’s fast bowlers have consistently delivered early breakthroughs this season, and the trend continued against SRH as Hyderabad lost three wickets inside the powerplay.

The skipper further emphasised that Gujarat are not fixated on one style of cricket. Instead, the Titans focus on adapting to conditions and reading situations better than their opponents. That flexibility has become one of the biggest strengths of the side during their current five-match winning streak.

GT’s latest victory also pushed them to the top of the standings, strengthening their playoff position and making them one of the strongest contenders heading into the business end of IPL 2026.

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Kagiso Rabada delivered a Player of the Match performance

Kagiso Rabada delivered a Player of the Match performance as Gujarat Titans dismantled Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs in Ahmedabad. The South African speedster led the charge with the ball after GT defended 168 in ruthless fashion.

Rabada admitted after the match that he was disappointed about dropping a catch early in the innings but praised the bowling group for quickly bouncing back and executing plans perfectly on a difficult surface. “The wicket got a little bit more sticky, really got hard for the batters. The patience and simplicity worked on this pitch,” he said.

GT’s seamers completely exposed SRH’s aggressive batting line-up. After Siraj’s wicket-maiden first over, Rabada removed Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan to put Hyderabad under massive pressure. The visitors never recovered as wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals.

Rabada also highlighted the importance of rhythm for fast bowlers and credited the clarity around his role within the Gujarat setup. His partnership with Siraj in the powerplay has become one of the biggest reasons behind GT’s dominant run this season.

The victory was another major statement from Shubman Gill’s side, who are peaking at exactly the right time in the tournament. Defending 168 on a batting-friendly Ahmedabad ground underlined the confidence and adaptability within the Gujarat camp.

For SRH, however, it was a night to forget as their batting order completely collapsed under scoreboard pressure and disciplined fast bowling.

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Gujarat Titans stormed to the top

Gujarat Titans stormed to the top of the IPL 2026 points table with a crushing 82-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Defending a modest 168/5, GT produced one of the most dominant bowling displays of the season as SRH were bundled out for just 86 in 14.5 overs.

The chase unraveled immediately after Mohammed Siraj dismissed Travis Head for a duck in a wicket-maiden opening over. Kagiso Rabada then struck twice in quick succession, removing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan to leave SRH stunned at 23/3.

From there, the Titans pace attack completely took over. Jason Holder and Prasidh Krishna ripped through the middle order, while Rashid Khan cleaned up the tail to complete a statement victory.

Earlier, valuable contributions from Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar helped GT recover on a tricky surface and post a competitive total. Sundar later admitted the wicket demanded patience and smart shot selection rather than all-out aggression.

The result marked SRH’s biggest defeat by runs in IPL history and also the first time since 2024 they failed to chase a target below 200. GT, meanwhile, registered their fifth straight win and continued their incredible dominance over Hyderabad.

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Sudharsan and Sundar rescue GT after early blows against SRH attack

Gujarat Titans recovered from early trouble to post 168/5. Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain and Pat Cummins kept things tight, reducing GT to 34/2 in the powerplay after dismissing Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler cheaply.

But Sai Sudharsan anchored the innings with a classy 61 off 44 balls. Washington Sundar added a fluent 50, and together they rebuilt GT’s innings with a crucial partnership. Their effort ensured GT reached a competitive total despite early setbacks.

IPL 2026, GT vs SRH: Kagiso Rabada’s powerplay carnage leaves SRH in tatters at Ahmedabad

Kagiso Rabada produced a match-winning spell, finishing with 3/28 as SRH collapsed early. He removed Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Smaran Ravichandran inside the powerplay, leaving SRH struggling at 34/4.

Jason Holder later supported with 3/20, breaking the middle order and sealing control for GT. SRH never recovered from the early damage and kept losing wickets at regular intervals, failing to build any partnership of substance in the chase of 169.

Battle for the playoffs continues - In a top-of-the-table clash, Gujarat Titans have managed to come out on top against Sunrisers Hyderabad, further galvanizing the points table. One more win should secure a playoff berth for GT, whereas SRH will need to win at least one of their remaining two games to have a proper shot at a top-four finish. Next up, another team that is very high up in the table, i.e, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, take on an in-form Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur. That game will be played on Wednesday, 13 May, and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). However, you can tune in a lot sooner and catch our build-up. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

POTM - For his figures of 4-0-28-3, Kagiso Rabada has been given the award. Rabada starts by talking about the missed catch and says that he didn't react fast, and it was a crucial wicket of Ishan Kishan, but luckily, they got the wicket soon after. He says all season, you try to do your best and it's good to be backed. Goes on to say that rhythm is everything and you need it for some things to click. On their bowling, he says that they each have their own natural attributes and then it's all about looking at which one works best on that given deck, and if it doesn't, then try something different. Mentions that SRH gave them the blueprint of how to bowl on this pitch and they just tried to better it.

The captain of the Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill says the team bowled really well and felt 169 was always going to be a tricky chase on this surface. He adds that the discussion during the batting effort was about getting close to the 170-run mark because, with the bowling attack they possess, they always believed they could defend it. Gill praises Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar for the way they batted to help GT get close to 170, before crediting Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada for setting the tone with the ball in the powerplay. Shubman says the team’s focus is all about being consistent and ruthless, while also pointing out that Gujarat are not a side obsessed with playing one particular brand of cricket. Believes their strength lies in adapting according to the conditions in front of them. Gill also has special praise for Jason Holder, calling him an experienced campaigner who understands exactly the kind of lengths required on surfaces like these. Adds that it is never easy for a fast bowler to bowl four overs on the trot in such conditions and still consistently deliver for the team.

The Presentation ceremony...

Let's quickly recap the first innings - After winning the toss, Pat Cummins had no hesitation in bowling first. His bowlers didn't disappoint as GT were reduced to 26/2 inside the Powerplay. The likes of Praful Hinge and Cummins himself did really well but when GT were 64/3, in came Washington Sundar and things started to change. Sai Sudharsan added 60 runs with Sundar and both of them went on to score individual fifties. SRH finished things off decently as Sakib Hussain picked up a couple of wickets but GT managed to get to a total of 168.

A quick word from Washington Sundar - Sundar starts by talking about his knock and says that the wicket was a bit different from the other games played over here, and he tried to understand what kind of shots to play. On his six against Eshan Malinga, he says that he was looking to hit the yorker away and is happy to get that shot right. He adds that his plan was not to think much and stayed focused on the wicket and had a chat with Sai that one of them had to stay on till the end. Mentions that till the 17th-18th over, he didn't go all out and went on the offensive in the final couple of overs. On facing Rabada and Siraj in the nets, he says that you have got to be disciplined and watch the ball closely and hope to put away the few bad balls that you get. He says that this win speaks volumes about their setup, and they have managed to assess conditions and play accordingly this season.

The skipper of the Sunrisers Hyderabad - Pat Cummins says GT bowled really well and shares that SRH were pretty happy at the innings break. He mentions that it was a tricky wicket and credits Gujarat for making the most of the conditions with the ball. Cummins feels that, as a batting unit, they perhaps could have looked at different ways to get through that first spell, but admits that it was as good a T20 bowling performance as you can see from the Gujarat Titans. Pat says that the batting unit has done well throughout the tournament, and the side is not going to read too much into this defeat. Believes that these kinds of games can happen in a long tournament. The SRH skipper tells that they now head to a couple of venues they know well, which gives the side confidence going into the final phase of the league stage. Adds that winning 6 of their last 8 games has given the team some breathing room in the playoff race, and the focus now will be on going back to what worked during that successful run and putting this defeat behind them quickly.

Boom or bust for SRH with the bat - The lowest total ever for SRH in IPL as they get bundled out for 86 runs, and for a team that has as many as three batters scoring in excess of 400 runs each, this will be a shock for the team and the fans. Travis Head's turbulent season continued as he was dismissed for a duck after looking to be back to his best in the last few games. Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan tried to attack and fell, as Heinrich Klaasen once again had to shoulder all responsibility and try and get his team out of a fix. He did well for a while but was dismissed soon after as the middle order had no answers to the bowling either. Pat Cummins struck a couple of lusty blows at the end, but that was only enough to bring down the margin of defeat to 82 runs.

Pacers lead the rout - A top-class bowling effort from start to finish from GT, but it was brilliantly set up by Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada, who have been the pillars of their recent success. Siraj dismissed a dangerous Travis Head in the first over, ending up with a wicket-maiden, but the way KG followed it up from the other end was something special. Kagiso Rabada bowled four overs on the trot and picked up 3 wickets in a jiffy. Jason Holder, who came in as first change, didn't allow the batters any room to breathe either as he too picked up 3 wickets, including the prized wicket of Heinrich Klaasen. Prasidh Krishna got a couple of scalps on his return from injury as Rashid Khan finished things up, in what is a resounding win for the Titans.

The Titans make it a high-five - Gujarat Titans pick up their fifth straight win on the trot and zoom to the top of the points table with this demolition of Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Titans also take a huge step towards playoff qualification and extend their positive head-to-head against the Sunrisers to 6-1.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The game is all but gone for Sunrisers Hyderabad, but there's still a lot to play for here. SRH will be hoping that they can bring down the margin of the imminent loss, but they only have 2 wickets in hand and a lot will depend on Pat Cummins if they are to at least cross the 100-run mark. Gujarat Titans have simply been brilliant with the ball, relentless with their execution and they will be eager to wrap things up at the earliest.
