Gujarat Titans (GT) will face a rival franchise known as Sunrisers Hyderabad at Narendra Modi Stadium in Match No. 51 of IPL 2025. Once again, GT have indicated their supremacy in IPL, much similar to their elite performance in IPL 2022 and IPL 2023, where they were the winner and runners-up respectively. They were coming after two back-to-back victories against Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, but the team with a losing streak Rajasthan Royals, halted the winning moments for Gujarat Titans. With six victories and three losses out of nine matches, GT are still among the top-four teams and holds a good amount of possibility to enter the play-offs. They also have the extra advantage of ruling over the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL history.Â
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a disappointing season, contrary to their initial form. However, they are coming after winning against Chennai Super Kings after losing both home and away matches against Mumbai indians. The Orange Army will look to convert their recent victory into a two-match winning streak to play for the pride in the remaining matches of IPL 2025, as they are on the verge of official elimination this season in the league stage. However, the recent IPL matches between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad have been high-octane battles.

Key Players from both teams
GT- X Factors
Sai Sudharsan has been terrific since the first match of the ongoing season, where he played a brilliant 74-run inning, leading to four more half-centuries. GT skipper Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler are coming off half-centuries in the last match, and they have the potential to replicate their match-winning performance in the next match. In the middle order, Sherfane Rutherford anchors the inning while Shahrukh Khan is poised to begin his inning with big shots. Among bowlers, pacers Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and spinner Sai Kishore are leading wicket-takers, and they will be crucial for GT in the next match.
SRH- X Factors
Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to make a comeback despite promising players available in the team. However, the Orange Army won the last match with an immense contribution from SRH’s leading wicket-taker Harshal Patel, who came up with four wickets that propelled the team to a winning track. Apart from him, skipper Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami are key bowlers to watch out for. Talking about the batting side, Ishan Kishan’s solid 44-run innings set up the chase against Chennai Super Kings in the last match. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are top-notch players in the top order who can give a fierce start to SRH. Moreover, a suitable finisher, Heinrich Klassen, who is a leading run-scorer for SRH, can drift the match around with his explosive knock.
