On 15 May 2023, the stage was set at Narendra Modi Stadium as Gujarat Titans (GT) locked horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing IPL. GT were looking for their ninth win of the season to seal their place in the playoffs. While SRH were looking for a win to stay alive in the tournament.
Speaking of the match, SRH won the toss and asked GT to bat first. For the home side, Shubman Gill came out to bat with Wriddhiman Saha. But, it was a disappointing outing for Saha as he managed a three-ball duck only. However, despite that early setback, GT managed a good start, courtesy of Gill and Sai Sudharsan.
SRH got eliminated from IPL 2023 with this loss
They put up a partnership of 147 runs for the second wicket. Sai Sudharsan got out after scoring 47 runs off 36 balls, including six fours and one six. Then, other batters failed to come up with some significant contributions as GT scored 188 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs. Shubman Gill smashed his maiden IPL ton as he scored 101 runs off 58 balls, including 13 fours and one six. For SRH, Bhuvneshwar Kumar took five wickets for 30 runs in four overs. Along with him, T Natarajan, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and Marco Jansen took one wicket each.
In reply, SRH batters had a horrible start as they lost their four wickets for just 45 runs in the first six overs. Mohammed Shami took three wickets while Yash Dayal took one wicket. Then, Mohit Sharma took three wickets in his first two overs. Only Heinrich Klaasen was fighting alone along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar as SRH were struggling at 97 runs for seven wickets in 13 overs. Klaasen scored 64 runs off 44 balls, including four fours and three sixes. Both Mohit and Shami finished their spell with four wickets each. Finally, SRH scored 154 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs and lost the match by 34 runs.
