IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's GT vs SRH match

Gujarat Titans (GT) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match number 51 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 2. GT are placed fourth in the points table, with six wins from nine games. In contrast, SRH find themselves languishing at ninth place, with just six points from nine matches. When the sides clashed in the first half, Gujarat beat Hyderabad by seven wickets.

While GT are still in the top four, they have lost two of their last four matches. With eight teams still in contention for a playoffs spot, Gujarat cannot afford too many slip-ups. In their previous match, they were hammered by Rajasthan Royals (RR) by eight wickets. Batting first, they put up 209-4 on the board. RR, however, chased down the target as Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed 101 off 38 balls.

SRH kept their playoffs hopes alive by getting the better of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets in their previous IPL 2025 match. Bowling first, SRH came up with a clinical effort to restrict CSK to 154 as Harshal Patel starred with 4-28. In the chase, Hyderabad got home in 18.3 overs, registering a much-needed win after six losses in their previous seven games.
