SRH vs GT IPL 2025: Mohammed Siraj’s 4-Wicket Haul Powers Gujarat Titans to Victory

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2025: Mohammed Siraj's 4-For Seals GT's Dominant Victory

The 2025 IPL season is heating up, and one match that left fans buzzing was the showdown between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT). GT stormed to a seven-wicket victory, powered by a sensational bowling performance from Mohammed Siraj. His 4-wicket haul dismantled SRH’s batting lineup, paving the way for a comfortable chase by GT’s batters.

Mohammed Siraj – The Showstopper

If there was one player who stole the limelight, it was undoubtedly Mohammed Siraj. The GT pacer delivered his career-best IPL performance, finishing with figures of 4/17 in four overs. His lethal pace and accuracy proved too much for SRH as he picked up crucial wickets, including:

• Abhishek Sharma (18) – Caught behind early, setting the tone for SRH’s struggles.

• Travis Head (8) – A dangerous batter dismissed cheaply.

• Aniket Verma (18) – Another scalp to deepen SRH’s crisis.

• Simarjeet Singh (0) – Clean bowled, sealing a brilliant spell for Siraj.

With this outstanding display, Siraj also reached a personal milestone of 100 IPL wickets, marking his name among the top bowlers in the league’s history.

GT’s Commanding Chase

Chasing 153, GT made it look easy. Skipper Shubman Gill led the charge with a classy 61 off 43 balls, smashing nine boundaries. He was well-supported by Washington Sundar, who played a crucial knock of 49 off 29 deliveries. In the final overs, Sherfane Rutherford provided fireworks with a rapid 35 off 16 balls, finishing the chase in just 17.3 overs.

SRH’s Batting Struggles

Despite a few decent starts, SRH’s innings never truly gained momentum. Nitish Kumar Reddy top-scored with 31 runs, while Heinrich Klaasen (27) and Pat Cummins (22)* offered some resistance. However, GT’s disciplined bowling attack ensured that SRH was restricted to a below-par total of 152/8.

Impact on the IPL 2025 Points Table

With this win, Gujarat Titans secured their third consecutive victory, placing them in the top two on the points table. On the other hand, SRH continued their disappointing run with four consecutive losses, leaving them at the bottom of the standings.

Looking Ahead

GT's performance in this match highlights their well-rounded squad strength and strategic execution. With their bowlers in top form and batters executing chases with precision, they remain a strong contender for the IPL 2025 title. SRH, however, needs to go back to the drawing board and find solutions quickly if they hope to turn their season around.

One thing is certain—Mohammed Siraj’s fiery spell will be remembered as one of the standout performances of IPL 2025. Can he continue this stellar form in the upcoming matches? Only time will tell!
