In Match 19 of IPL 2025 between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans, the coin fell in the favor of GT skipper Shubman Gill who decided to have a bowl first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Home skipper Pat Cummins said that he would have liked to bowl first as well had he won the toss. 🚨 Toss 🚨@gujarat_titans won the toss and opted to bowl first against @SunRisers Updates â–¶ https://t.co/Y5Jzfr6Vv4#TATAIPL | #SRHvGT pic.twitter.com/NSQEVcAiRt — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 6, 2025 One change for each teams as GT have brought in off-spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar who will make his debut for GT in place of left-arm seamer Arshad Khan while Jaydev Unadkat comes into the SRH team as Harshal Patel is out with an illness. Also Read | 7 IPL Players Who Were One-Season Wonders Playing 11s for both the teams Sunrisers Hyderabad: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (C), Zeeshan Ansari, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Shami Impact subs - Abhinav Manohar, Sachin Baby, Simarjeet Singh, Rahul Chahar, Wiaan Mulder Since SRH are batting first, expect someone like Simarjeet Singh to be used as an impact sub in the second innings unless there is a batting collapse from SRH and they are forced to bring in someone like Abhinav Manohar. If there is enough help for the spinners, leggie Rahul Chahar could get a go as well. Gujarat Titans: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(C), Jos Buttler(wk), Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Washington Sundar, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma Impact subs - Sherfane Rutherford, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Arshad Khan GT are expected to use Sherfane Rutherford as their impact sub, as they have done so while chasing in a couple of games before. However, someone like Glenn Philips, who has played for SRH before might be an option as well. What did the captains say? GT skipper Shubman Gill said that he expects the pitch to be a slow one unlike the previous pitches here since it is a black soil one. Cummins, the SRH skipper, said that he is happy to bat first even though he would have wanted to bowl as well. Cummins also adds that hopefully there is no change of intent from his batters as they want to stick to their strengths. A different Hyderabad pitch? Danny Morrison and Varun Aaron, in their pitch report, echoed the same sentiments of Gill at the toss when they said that it is going to be a slowish pitch for this encounter and it might not be the usual slam-bang approach from the batters. 165 is the average first innings score on this pitch, which is much lower than the other pitches on the square. Points table check Placed at the bottom of the points table, the home team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, are on a 3-match losing streak after winning their season opener. Their explosive batting led them to a mammoth total of 286 against RR in their first match but since then their scores have only plummeted. Adding to that, their bowling has not been doing its job as well. With the likes of Shami, Cummins and Harshal not at their best, they have struggled with the ball. They are in desperate need of a win and some momentum and they would be hoping that coming back home would get their campaign back on track. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have gone the opposite way to their opponents. Having lost their season opener, GT have won their last two matches against MI and RCB and are coming into this full of confidence. Sai Sudarshan and Jos Buttler have been prolific in the top-order for them while Mohammad Siraj, coming in on the back of a POTM performance against RCB, will be eager to get on the field as he is a Hyderabad boy after all. Also, their ace-spinner Rashid Khan will also like the familiarity of the conditions at Uppal Stadium having played for a long time here for SRH.
