Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | May 12, 2026 | TATA IPL 2026 – Match 56
In a one-sided contest that lit up the IPL 2026 season, Gujarat Titans delivered a masterclass in all-round cricket to hammer Sunrisers Hyderabad by a whopping 82 runs. The JioHotstar highlights video captures every pulse-racing moment – from gritty middle-order rescues to a devastating bowling onslaught that left SRH reeling. GT now sit proudly at the top of the IPL 2026 points table, while SRH’s playoff hopes took a serious hit.
Toss and Early Drama
SRH won the toss and elected to bowl first on a tricky, slow pitch at the world’s largest cricket stadium. What looked like a smart decision quickly turned into a nightmare as GT’s batters dug deep to post a competitive total.
Gujarat Titans Innings: 168/5 in 20 overs
GT started cautiously but lost early wickets – Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler fell inside the powerplay. The innings wobbled at 64/3, but B. Sai Sudharsan (61 off 44 balls) and Washington Sundar (50* off 33) turned the tide with a brilliant recovery partnership. Their calm, calculated batting on a difficult surface was the highlight reel’s standout segment – precise drives, clever rotations, and big sixes when needed.
SRH’s bowlers tried hard, with Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain picking two wickets each (2/17 and 2/37 respectively), but they couldn’t stop GT from reaching a defendable 168/5.
SRH Collapse: A Bowling Masterclass by GT
Chasing 169, SRH’s batting lineup imploded in dramatic fashion – bundled out for just 86 all out in 14.5 overs.
The JioHotstar highlights show the carnage unfolding in real time:
- Mohammed Siraj struck first, dismissing dangerous opener Travis Head for a golden duck in the very first over.
- Kagiso Rabada (Player of the Match, 3/28) was unplayable, removing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan in quick succession to leave SRH at 23/3.
- Middle-order resistance was non-existent. Jason Holder (3/20) and Prasidh Krishna (2/23) tore through the lineup, including the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen.
- Captain Pat Cummins fought bravely with a quick cameo (19 runs, including a six and four), but it was too little, too late.
- Rashid Khan wrapped things up with a clever stumping to end the innings.
The bowling highlights are pure gold – searing yorkers, sharp bouncers, and clever variations that left the SRH batters clueless on a pitch that offered just enough assistance.
