Sunrisers Hyderabad endured one of their worst performances in IPL history as they were bowled out for just 86 against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, registering their lowest-ever total in the tournament.
Chasing 169, SRH crumbled under relentless pressure from Gujarat’s pace attack. Early dismissals of Travis Head (0) and Abhishek Sharma (6) set the tone for a dramatic collapse, from which the visitors never recovered.
Despite brief resistance from Heinrich Klaasen and Salil Arora, wickets continued to fall at regular intervals. Captain Pat Cummins provided a late spark with a quick 19 off 9 balls, but SRH were eventually bundled out for 86, losing the match by 82 runs.
