Here’s a detailed breakdown of SRH vs GT match-winning percentage based on their head-to-head record in the IPL:
With a 75% win rate, Gujarat Titans have the clear upper hand in this rivalry, while Sunrisers Hyderabad will be keen to narrow the gap in the upcoming IPL season.
Interestingly, Gujarat Titans have proven successful both while batting first and chasing, whereas SRH’s lone win came while setting a target.
Since Gujarat Titans’ IPL debut in 2022, their matches against SRH have taken place at a limited number of venues. With the IPL expanding its reach, more iconic stadiums will likely host this fixture in the future.
Gujarat Titans’ home ground, the Narendra Modi Stadium, has witnessed two matches between the sides, with GT winning both encounters.
Both Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad have never faced each other at SRH’s home stadium the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. This is due to scheduling reasons alongside rain halting one encounter scheduled to be played in Hyderabad last season
The teams have faced off twice at neutral venues, with both winning one match each.
Here’s a look at the recent five encounters between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans:
While this rivalry is still in its early stages, there have already been some memorable moments, including:
2023 – Shubman Gill’s Century: In the IPL 2023 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Shubman Gill delivered a batting masterclass, scoring a stunning 101 off 58 balls. His brilliant knock guided GT to a comfortable 34-run victory.
2022 – Umran Malik’s Fiery Spell: During their 2022 encounter, SRH’s express pacer Umran Malik ripped through GT’s batting lineup with figures of 5/25, the best individual bowling performance in the fixture. Despite his heroics, GT chased the target successfully.
Shubman Gill – 166 runs
Gujarat Titans’ skipper Shubman Gill has been the most prolific batter in this rivalry. With a century and consistent performances, he has proven to be a thorn in SRH’s bowling attack.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar & Mohit Sharma – 7 wickets each
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohit Sharma have both claimed seven wickets in SRH vs GT fixtures. Their ability to strike with the new ball and in the death overs has made them pivotal players for their respective teams.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad surprised everyone in TATA IPL 2024 by playing an exciting and ultra aggressive brand of cricket which saw them reach the finals of the tournament. However, in the final they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in a one sided affair to ruin what would’ve been one of the most exciting stories in IPL.
Heading into the 2025 IPL season, SRH have maintained much of their same core from 2024 with the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy all returning under the leadership of Pat Cummins. To top it off they have also added Ishan Kishan to their top heavy lineup, so expect SRH to play with the same gusto as last season.
However, this year, they will be without stalwart bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. SRH have addressed Bhuvi’s absence by roping in Mohammed Shami but given his fitness concerns there are question marks over SRH’s bowling.

The Gujarat Titans head into IPL 2025 as one of the most balanced and dangerous squads in the tournament. With Shubman Gill leading the side, GT will look to continue their consistent performances and aim for another deep run in the competition. Gill, who has been in sublime form, will spearhead the batting order, while the addition of Jos Buttler adds a significant boost to their top-order firepower. The Englishman’s aggressive style and experience make him a game-changer in any situation.
GT’s middle order will rely on the explosiveness of Sherfane Rutherford and Glenn Phillips, who are both capable of accelerating the run rate and finishing games in style. With the likes of Mahipal Lomror and Washington Sundar providing stability and all-round capabilities, GT’s batting lineup looks well-rounded and dangerous.
The Titans boast a formidable bowling attack with Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna forming a lethal pace trio. Rabada’s knack for taking wickets in the powerplay and Siraj’s ability to bowl with pace and accuracy in the death overs will be key to GT’s success. In the spin department, Rashid Khan, one of the world’s most lethal leg-spinners, will play a pivotal role. His wicket-taking ability and miserly economy rate make him a constant threat to opposition batters.
The all-round prowess of Rahul Tewatia and the left-arm spin of Sai Kishore provide additional depth and flexibility to GT’s bowling attack, making them a well-balanced and dangerous side.
