Siraj and Gills’s sensational outing knocked down SRH in the Clash of Hyderabad on Ramnavami in the 18th Season of IPL.
Gujarat Titans won the toss and put the Home team to set the target. Travis Head failed again in the first over. The top order failed again against the fierce bowling of Siraj. Abhishek and Kishan scored in double figures but were not impactful. Both got out cheaply, 18 and 17 respectively. Nitish and Klassen batted better than others and carried up to 100 runs in the 14th over when Klassen got out, scoring 31 runs. Soon followed by Nitish Reddy. Captain P Cummins 9 ball 22 took the score beyond 150, which was under par at Hyderabad. Md Siraj picked up 4 wickets by giving just 17 runs. Kishore and Krishna also picked up 2 wickets each
Siraj and Gills Sensational outing
Gujrat Titans, with an initial hiccup by losing First Sudharsan in the 3rd over and Buttler in the 4th over, made sure there is no heartbreak after that. Shubhman and Washington Sundar had 90-run partnership to take Titans to 106 in 14th over. Washington made 49 from 29 balls. Rutherford was in hurry and with 6 fours and 1 six scored 35 in just 16 balls to register 3rd win for Gujrat Titans . M Shami picked up 2/28.
Sunrisers’ Batters failed once again. Team management has no planning how to setting the target. Most of the players are hard hitters and need to hold on there emotions and build the innings to charge after the 12th over. Teams have scored 70-plus runs in the last 4 overs. Likes of T head, Abhishek, Ishan, Klassen, and Reddy. Only one player needs to perform and stay on the crease for at least 6 overs, the game will change. SRH needs to ponder that there are 14 overs after the Power play. That 14 over is good enough if you have wickets. The approach has to be changed.
