In the IPL 2026 match on May 12, the Gujarat Titans (GT) triumphed over the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 82 runs. Opener Sai Sudharsan was instrumental in the victory, scoring 61 runs off 44 balls. The Titans set a target of 168 runs, which their bowlers defended effectively, dismissing SRH for a mere 86 runs in 14.5 overs. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif commended the GT team management for allowing Sudharsan to play freely, contrasting it with the pressure players face in other teams. The bowling attack, led by Jason Holder and Kagiso Rabada, who took 3/20 and 3/28 respectively, showcased discipline and skill, reminiscent of classic Test match bowling. With this victory, GT has secured eight wins in twelve matches, positioning them at the top of the points table, while SRH fell to third place.
