Sai Kishore Hails GT Pacers After Dominant Win Over SRH

Gujarat Titans beat SRH by 82 runs to take the top position in the Indian Premier League points table with a compelling all-round show.

Ahmedabad: Gujarat Titans spinner Sai Kishore praised the team’s fast bowlers and smart reading of conditions after a dominant win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad. Defending 168/5 on a damp, seam-friendly surface, Gujarat’s bowling attack dismantled SRH’s powerful batting lineup in a one-sided contest.

Gujarat Titans beat SRH by 82 runs to take the top position in the Indian Premier League points table with a compelling all-round show here on Tuesday. After half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan (61) and Washington Sundar (50) took the Titans to 168 for seven in a scratchy outing with the bat, Kagiso Rabada (3/28) ran through SRH's top-order and Jason Holder (3/20) followed up with an incisive spell to script a fifth consecutive victory for the IPL 2022 winners.

Sai Kishore revealed that the team identified 170 as a competitive total after assessing the pitch conditions before the innings break. Gujarat’s pacers executed the plan brilliantly, striking early in the power play and never allowing SRH to recover in the chase.

He also credited the batting unit for putting up a fighting score under difficult conditions. Sai Sudharsan anchored the innings with a composed half-century, while Nishant Sindhu added quick runs with positive intent. Washington Sundar provided the finishing touches, helping GT post a total that eventually proved far beyond SRH's reach.
