Siraj's Masterclass Bowling Hinders SRH

Choosing to field first, GT's selection was justified by Siraj's initial breakthroughs. He destroyed SRH's opening order, taking four vital wickets and giving away only 17 runs. His spell was marked by pace and accuracy, leaving SRH reeling to find their rhythm. Supporting Siraj, R Sai Kishore and Prasidh Krishna each picked two wickets, further suppressing SRH's batting order. Nitish Reddy was the SRH's highest scorer with 31 runs, but their team could only score 152 for 8 in their 20 overs.

GT's Chase Led by Gill and Sundar

With a target of 153, GT suffered early losses, standing at 16 for 2. But a determined stand between Washington Sundar and captain Shubman Gill changed the course of events. Sundar's 49 off 29 balls gave the required push, while Gill's calm 61 not out off 43 balls helped to complete the chase smoothly. Together, they pushed GT to 153 for 3, winning with 3.2 overs to spare.​
 

GT's Dominance in IPL 2025

This victory is GT's third straight win in the IPL 2025 season, moving them to second spot on the points table with six points from their four matches. In contrast, SRH's fourth straight loss highlights their struggles this season and puts them at the lower rungs of the table.

Siraj's brilliant performance not only won him the Player of the Match award but also reflected his comeback in the IPL, particularly after his previous omission from the national team. His efforts have been instrumental in GT's recent victories, cementing his position as a vital player in the tournament
