IPL 2025 GT vs SRH Key Players: From Pat Cummins' fiery bowling offences to Shubman Gill's consistency; players to watch out tonight

As the Indian Premier League 2025 heads into its final stretch, Match 51 promises high-stakes action as Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans (GT) host Pat Cummins’ Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday evening.

For Sunrisers Hyderabad, this match could make or break their season. Touted as one of the pre-season favourites, SRH are now on the verge of elimination from the playoff race.

Their only lifeline is to win every remaining match and hope for favourable results elsewhere. A recent morale-boosting victory over Chennai Super Kings might have sparked some hope in the dressing room, but whether it can revive their dwindling campaign remains to be seen.


On the other side, Gujarat Titans are in a far more comfortable—yet still competitive—position.

While not officially through to the playoffs, they are inching closer and could even target a top-two finish, which grants a second chance in the playoff format.

A loss to Rajasthan Royals in their last outing did bruise their momentum, especially in the bowling department, but overall, their campaign has been solid.
