Mohammed Siraj’s career-best figures of 4/17 powered Gujarat Titans to a commanding seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 18 of the 2025 Indian Premier League at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium yesterday.
SRH’s batting struggles continued as they posted a modest 152/8 after being put in to bat. Siraj dismantled the top order, removing Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma early before reaching the milestone of 100 IPL wickets. Nitish Reddy (31) and Heinrich Klaasen (27) staged a brief recovery, but SRH never gained momentum.
In reply, GT overcame early setbacks as skipper Shubman Gill (47*) and Washington Sundar (49 off 29) steered the chase with a 90-run partnership. Sundar’s aggressive knock, his highest IPL score, ensured GT reached the target in just 16.4 overs.
The win consolidates GT’s position in the top half of the table, while SRH slump to their fourth consecutive defeat. Siraj, now with nine wickets this season, was named Player of the Match for his devastating spell.
