5 moments that defined GT’s win over SRH

Abhishek Sharma punishes Rashid

Abhishek has absolutely smashed Rashid Khan with 63 runs off 30 deliveries and only one dismissal. But what’s more interesting is that he is the only batter with a 200+ strike rate against Rashid in IPL history. And that continued today as well, scoring 16 off seven balls. 

A boundary-less Aiden Markram

Since 2023, on three occasions, Markram has gone boundary-less (min 10 balls), and the clash against Gujarat was the third. The South African scored a 19-ball 17, which took a lot of fizz out of the Sunrisers’ middle-overs, where they could only score 66 runs. 

Mohit Sharma has the last laugh

Being a 35-year-old pacer is tough in T20s and tougher at a level like IPL. But that hasn’t hampered Mohit Sharma, who was yet again amongst wickets, with figures of 3/25. During his spell, Mohit picked up his 16th wicket with a back of a hand delivery. 

In the last two editions of the IPL, Mohit has struck 33 times, the most by any bowler. 

Bhuvneshwar’s dry spell in the powerplay

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has picked up 62 wickets in the powerplay, but that seems to be a thing of the past. In his last 25 IPL matches, the 34-year-old has only picked up a wicket in the powerplay only eight times. Where’s that Bhuvneshwar gone? 

David Miller aces yet another run chase

In successful run chases, David Miller averages 113.3, scoring 1020 runs. He continued his run against SRH, scoring 27-ball 44*, with a strike rate of 149.12. He changed the complexion of the chase with the win % shifting towards GT (92), with GT scoring 24 runs off Markande's over.
