NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad ’s star openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head endured another disappointing outing with the bat, falling cheaply against Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2025 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.


Abhishek, who began aggressively with four crisp boundaries, looked in fine touch, while Head also found the fence twice early on. The duo appeared poised to provide a solid platform for SRH.

However, Mohammed Siraj had other plans.

The fiery pacer struck early, removing Head in the very first over. Abhishek followed soon after, falling to Siraj in the fifth over, as both openers departed inside the Powerplay.

Their early dismissals didn’t sit well with Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran , who was seen visibly frustrated in the stands, gesturing and murmuring in disappointment.









Siraj claimed 4-17 to restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 152/8 in 20 overs.

Invited to bat first, Travis Head struck two consecutive fours off Siraj before the pacer dismissed him on the final ball of the opening over.

Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma struggled to score freely in the powerplay overs as the pair only added 29 runs for the second wicket before the latter was sent back to the pavilion by Siraj in the fifth over.

After losing both their openers early, Hyderabad were 45/2 after the end of the powerplay, their second-lowest in nine innings since 2024.


Kishan, who had spent a decent time on the crease, couldn't capitalise on the start and was picked by Prasidh Krishna for 17 in the eighth over.

Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen gave some respite to Hyderabad's struggling innings as the duo kept on rotating strikes against Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore in the middle overs. The duo amassed a 50-run stand for the fourth wicket before Kishore got the better of both batters in successive overs. Klaasen departed after scoring 27 including a six and two fours while Nitish scored 34-ball 31.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's hope for a late flourish in the death overs also hit a blow when Krishna put an end to Kamindu Mendis' (1) five-ball stay at the crease, leaving them for 120/6 after 17 overs.

In the next over, Siraj, bowling his final over of the spell, showcased exceptional death bowling skills and clinched the scalps of Aniket Verma (18) and Simarjeet Singh (0) to complete his four-fer. The pacer returned with the figures of 4-17, his best bowling performance in the IPL history.

Pat Cummins (22 not out) struck a four and six while Mohammed Shami joined him with a boundary off Ishant Sharma's final over to take their total to 152/8.

Apart from Siraj, Rashid and Krishna bagged two scalps each while remaining economical in their spells.
