Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to lock horns with Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 19th match of the IPL 2025 season at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Titans currently sit comfortably in fourth place on the points table with two victories from their first three outings. Fresh off a six-wicket triumph over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Shubman Gill's side will enter this clash brimming with belief. However, they've been dealt a major setback with the departure of Kagiso Rabada, who has returned to South Africa for personal reasons.
In contrast, things have gone downhill for the hosts. After beginning the campaign with a win, Sunrisers Hyderabad have slumped to three straight defeats and now find themselves at the bottom of the standings. With the return to familiar conditions in Hyderabad, skipper Pat Cummins will be desperate to spark a turnaround.

SRH vs GT Team News, Probable Playing XI and Key Players
Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News
For SRH, there's no shortage of worries. Their 80-run thrashing at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders was their third defeat on the trot. Cummins will hope that playing at home can lift his side’s confidence, particularly with the bat, where their top order has faltered badly.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma need to set the tone early, while Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Kamindu Mendis must steady the ship in the middle overs. Heinrich Klaasen, with his power hitting, remains the X-factor lower down the order, alongside Aniket Verma and Cummins himself.
With the ball, Shami and Cummins must deliver with the new ball to keep GT in check. The middle-overs challenge will fall to Zeeshan Ansari and Kamindu Mendis, while Simarjeet Singh and Harshal Patel need to provide stability and support.

Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Simarjeet Singh, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari.

Gill will look to lead from the front once again, especially with Sai Sudharsan showing good touch at the top. The Titans' middle order has depth, with the likes of Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, and Shahrukh Khan capable of changing the course of the game. Expect Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, and Rashid Khan to provide fireworks in the death overs.
However, Rabada's absence leaves a void in the bowling department. It’ll be up to Mohammad Siraj and Arshad Khan to strike early, while Prasidh Krishna and Ishant Sharma shoulder the burden in the middle. Concerns linger around Rashid Khan’s patchy form, and he’ll need to raise his game, supported by Sai Kishore in the spin attack.
