It was a day to forget for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who have slumped to a massive 82-run loss against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad. Chasing a modest 169, SRH never got going, losing four wickets in the powerplay. GT bowlers were relentless in their approach as they did not let the SRH batters get away. In fact, no SRH batter even reached 20 in the chase.
As a result, the Pat Cummins-led side were bowled out for just 86, which is their lowest total in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The match was superbly set up by Sai Sudharsan (61) and Washington Sundar (50), who scored half-centuries. With the ball, it was Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder who did the bulk of the damage with their three-wicket hauls. Prasidh Krishna picked up two while Mohammed Siraj and Rashid Khan picked up one wicket apiece.
With this massive win, GT go to the top of the IPL 2026 points table. However, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be able to reclaim their top spot if they beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on May 13 (Wednesday). SRH, on the other hand, are in third place.
