IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans eye playoffs while Sunrisers Hyderabad struggle, fans say ¡®Shubman Gill ki batting dekh liyo!¡¯
Gujarat Titans take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial IPL 2025 match at Ahmedabad. While GT aims to enter the top two, SRH must win to stay alive. Fans react to Gill¡¯s form, Cummins¡¯ captaincy, and Travis Head¡¯s continued struggles with the bat.
Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play against each other today in the 51st match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Gujarat, with 6 wins from 9 games, are eyeing a top-two finish, while Sunrisers, placed ninth, must win to stay in the tournament.
Points table pressure
With 12 points already in hand, a win for GT will place them alongside Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the top with 14 points. Given their Net Run Rate, Titans could even jump to the No. 1 spot. Their previous loss to Rajasthan Royals will be on their minds, but their record against SRH is encouraging; they've already beaten them once this season.
SRH, on the other hand, have only 3 wins from 9 matches. Although they won their last game, the road ahead remains tough. They need to win all remaining matches and depend on other results to stay in contention. Another defeat could likely knock them out.
Toss and pitch talk
The Narendra Modi Stadium has favoured teams batting first due to the pitch slowing down later. In their last meeting at this venue, GT won both the toss and the match. With playoff qualification on the line, both teams will be thinking hard about the toss decision.
Fan buzz
Social media lit up ahead of the match with fans voicing their excitement. One user confidently said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, GT will qualify in top 2.¡± Another urged everyone to relax and ¡°just watch Shubman Gill¡¯s batting.¡±

Abb aaram se Shubman Gill ki batting dekh liyo...!
Some fans also commented on SRH captain Pat Cummins. While one compared him to Hansie Cronje¡ªhoping history doesn¡¯t repeat itself¡ªanother praised him simply, calling him ¡°Best Captain Pat Cummins.¡±
Pat Cummins always reminds me of Hansie Cronje. I just hope he never ends up involved in anything like Hansie was.

Meanwhile, Travis Head's form continues to worry fans. A user sarcastically wrote, ¡°Please give this gift from my side to Travis Head. He might wake up after trying it.¡±
