SRH vs GT / 'Don't play for 300 runs', Kavya got angry as soon as Abhishek got out

Sunrisers Hyderabad had to face defeat by 7 wickets against Gujarat Titans. This was Hyderabad's fourth consecutive defeat in the current season. Co-owner Kavya Maran looked upset with the flop performance of the batsmen. Gujarat won due to the brilliant innings of Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar.

SRH vs GT: The excitement of IPL 2025 is at its peak, but this season has not been anything special for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) so far. In the match played against Gujarat Titans on Sunday, SRH suffered a crushing defeat by 7 wickets. This was Hyderabad's fourth consecutive defeat this season, which not only disappointed the fans of the team but also upset the team's co-owner Kavya Maran.

Top order in bad shape, Kavya Maran's reaction goes viral

SRH batsmen were a complete flop in this match played against Gujarat. While fans were expecting an explosive start from famous batsmen like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan, these players could not live up to the expectations. Abhishek Sharma scored 18 runs off 16 balls, but his shot selection was very poor. He gave an easy catch to Rahul Tewatia off Mohammad Siraj.

After Abhishek's dismissal, SRH co-owner Kavya Maran's anger was clearly visible on camera. It was clear from her facial expressions and hand gestures that she was very angry with the team's performance. Her reaction is becoming increasingly viral on social media. Many users have reacted to this. One user wrote, "Don't play for 300 runs," which was a sarcasm on the team's unbalanced batting attitude.

SRH's innings disintegrated

After the top order faltered, the middle order also could not show much performance. Travis Head scored just 8 runs while Ishan Kishan was out after scoring 17 runs. Nitish Kumar Reddy certainly played an innings of 31 runs, but he could not take the team to a respectable score. Heinrich Klaasen also could not do anything special in this match. The result was that the entire team of Sunrisers Hyderabad could score only 152 runs in the stipulated 20 overs.

Gujarat Titans' spectacular win

The target of 152 runs proved to be easy for Gujarat Titans. Gujarat achieved this target with 7 wickets in hand thanks to the brilliant innings of Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar. Shubman Gill scored 61 runs in 43 balls which included 9 fours, while Sundar scored 49 runs to lead the team to victory.

Way forward

For Sunrisers Hyderabad, every match has now turned into a do or die situation. After four consecutive defeats, the team management will have to change the strategy soon. Especially there is a need to work on top order batting and shot selection. Kavya Maran's anger is an indication that the team management is now serious about improving performance.
