SRH vs GT IPL head to head battle

Things have gone massively downtown for the Sunrisers Hyderabad after they won pretty convincingly against Rajasthan Royals in their opening match of Indian Premier League 2025 as they ended up suffering three back-to-back losses during their last three encounters. The Sunrisers Hyderabad's explosive batting line-up has been exposed in the previous three games against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans have made a phenomenal comeback winning both of their last two games against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

It has been an exciting head to head battle between SRH and GT so far in the history of the Indian Premier League, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have a slight edge over their opponents. Out of the 5 matches played between these two teams, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have managed to win 3 games, Gujarat Titans have emerged victorious on a single occasion while one match ended without a result. 

3 player battles to watch out for in the SRH vs GT IPL 2025 match

1. Ishan Kishan vs Mohammed Siraj

It was a terrific start from left-handed batter Ishan Kishan in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League as he smashed a remarkable hundred on debut for the Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals. However, he has delivered extremely below-par performances during the last three games for the Pat Cummins-led SRH team. Barring that 106-run innings against Rajasthan, the southpaw has scored just 4 runs from three innings. On the other side, right-arm speedster Mohammed Siraj is coming into this game after a brilliant Man of the Match performance against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

During their IPL face-offs, Ishan Kishan has an impressive strike-rate of more than 150 while Siraj has got him out a couple of times. Thus, it will be an exciting battle to watch out for between these two Indian talents during the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2025 match starting on Sunday. 

2. Shubman Gill vs Mohammed Shami

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has got some fine starts in this ongoing T20 tournament but he has failed to convert them into big scores. On the other hand, things have not worked out in an ideal manner for senior fast bowler Mohammed Shami as he has picked up as many as three wickets from four matches in this IPL 2025 season. However, the Indian speedster has dominated the proceedings against the Gujarat Titans skipper during their face-offs. Shami has got the better of him a couple of times while Shubman has a poor strike-rate of just 114 against him. 

3. Jos Buttler vs Pat Cummins

After a couple of starts in the first few matches, senior England wicket-keeper batter  Jos Buttler finally scored an amazing match-winning fifty for the Gujarat Titans during their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. On the other hand, Pat Cummins has not been at his best both as a captain and fast bowler while leading the Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins has not enjoyed much of success against the former England captain in the history of the IPL. Buttler has an exceptional strike-rate of nearly 180 and has been dismissed only once against the Aussie speedster.
