"Never looked this spineless in 10 years of IPL"- Fans roast SRH after batting collapse against GT ends their playoffs hopes

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been knocked out of the race to the IPL 2023 playoffs after their loss against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 15.

Chasing a mammoth target of 189, the visitors ended up with just 154/9, losing the game by 34 runs. Heinrich Klaasen played a lone hand with a fine half-century, but almost no other batter could step up and provide even a fight to take the game deep.

Fans on Twitter trolled the SRH management for some questionable decisions made during the game. Many also trolled them for getting knocked out of the playoffs race. Here are some of the reactions:

SRH's batting faltered against the new ball

It was crucial for SRH to get off to a good start in the powerplay, but Mohammed Shami again displayed his brilliance with the new ball.

Shami broke the back of the opposition's top-order and the game seemed to be out of reach for the Sunrisers from that point. Despite Klaasen's 64 off 44 balls, Gujarat completed a comprehensive win, thanks their bowlers chipping away with wickets at crucial junctures.

With this win, GT have sealed their spot in the Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2023 playoffs to be played in Chennai.
