Even with the side facing an 82-run loss, Cummins pointed to encouraging batting signs across the season and suggested that recent results have given SRH a little more room to manoeuvre in the IPL standings.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pat Cummins described the surface as difficult and credited Gujarat\u2019s bowling as a major factor in the contest.<\/li>\n<li>Gujarat Titans restricted SRH to 86 all out in 14.5 overs after posting 168\/5.<\/li>\n<li>The defeat moved Gujarat to the top of the points table with 16 points, while SRH sit third on 14 points.<\/li>\n<li>SRH\u2019s 86 is their lowest all-out total in IPL history, and also the second-lowest total they\u2019ve managed against Gujarat.<\/li>\n<li>Gujarat\u2019s 82-run win is the largest victory by runs in IPL history, beating their own earlier 77-run win over Rajasthan Royals.<\/li>\n<li>It was the first time since 2024 that SRH failed to chase a target below 200 in the tournament.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Gujarat\u2019s bowling sets the tone in Ahmedabad<\/h2>\n<p>SRH endured a sharp batting collapse as Gujarat Titans delivered a dominant win at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. After the Titans were held to 168\/5 through disciplined bowling from SRH, the hosts\u2019 pace attack proved ruthless during the chase, dismantling the Hyderabad batting order.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Sunrisers Hyderabad were dismissed for just 86 runs in 14.5 overs, handing Gujarat an 82-run victory.<\/p>\n<h2>Points impact and season context<\/h2>\n<p>The result reshaped the IPL 2026 points table: Gujarat Titans moved to first place with 16 points, while Sunrisers Hyderabad slipped to third position with 14 points. Cummins, however, tried to keep the focus on the bigger picture, noting that SRH\u2019s batting output across the season has been strong.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the match, he said the wicket looked particularly testing and singled out Gujarat\u2019s bowling as \u201ca good T20 bowling effort.\u201d He then pointed to SRH\u2019s batting form, stressing that their batters had already amassed more than 400 runs in the tournament and that the team\u2019s five or six wins have provided some breathing space.<\/p>\n<h2>Records and match milestones<\/h2>\n<p>SRH\u2019s total of 86 also carried historical weight. It was the second-lowest all-out score against Gujarat Titans, with only Lucknow Super Giants\u2019 82 at Pune in 2022 ranking lower. The 82-run win additionally became Gujarat\u2019s biggest triumph by runs in IPL history, surpassing their earlier 77-run victory over Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur earlier in the same season.<\/p>\n<p>For Hyderabad, the match ended with their lowest all-out score in IPL competition. The chase also broke a key trend: it was the first occasion since 2024 that SRH were unable to successfully chase a sub-200 target in the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins conceded that the match in Ahmedabad offered plenty of challenges for batters, while also
