Who won the Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad?

Overall head-to-head record

Across six IPL meetings, Gujarat Titans have won four and Sunrisers Hyderabad two. The head-to-head shows GT’s dominance, especially in the later seasons: they’ve won four of the last five encounters since 2023 (myKhel).

Most recent match result (May 12, 2026)

Gujarat Titans beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs in the 56th match of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (NDTV Sports). GT posted 168/5 in 20 overs, then bowled SRH out for 86 in 14.5 overs — the lowest total in the rivalry’s history (myKhel).

The gap between GT’s 168 and SRH’s 86 — 82 runs — is the largest winning margin in any GT vs SRH IPL match. That single result effectively defines the power shift in the fixture.

Key moments from the 2026 clash

GT’s bowlers dismantled the SRH batting order on a pitch that offered early seam movement. The collapse started in the fourth over and never recovered. By the 15th over, the chase was dead (ESPN).

The upshot

Sunrisers Hyderabad lost by 82 runs — a margin that exposes their batting fragility against GT’s disciplined bowling. For SRH fans, this defeat raises serious questions about their middle-order depth.

The pattern: Gujarat Titans turn match pressure into wicket clusters. In both the 2025 and 2026 wins, GT took 3+ wickets within five overs of each other.

Why did the Gujarat Titans win?

Dominant bowling performance

GT’s bowling unit restricted SRH to just 86 runs — the lowest total in any GT vs SRH match. Wickets fell regularly, with no SRH batter reaching 30 (ESPNcricinfo).

Strategic batting contributions

GT’s 168/5 was built on a solid platform — steady partnerships rather than explosive hitting. They lost only five wickets across 20 overs, ensuring no collapse gave SRH a path back into the game (NDTV Sports).

The implication: GT’s strategy of building a defendable total and then strangling the chase through early wickets has worked in all four of their wins against SRH.

Who scored 100 in 30 balls?

Historical IPL fastest centuries

No IPL batter has scored a 30-ball century as of May 2026. The fastest IPL century remains Chris Gayle’s 30-ball hundred for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in 2013 (IPL).

Context for 30-ball century claims

The question surfaces because fans sometimes misremember MS Dhoni’s 87 off 25 balls against SRH in 2023 as a century — it was not. No batter has reached three figures in under 35 balls in IPL history (IPL).

The catch: A 30-ball century remains one of cricket’s rarest feats. The IPL has seen only one such innings in 16 seasons, and it belongs to Chris Gayle.

Who scored 87 runs in 25 balls?

The fastest 87 in IPL history

MS Dhoni scored 87 runs off 25 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023 — the fastest 87 in IPL history. His strike rate of 348.00 remains unmatched for an innings of that length (ESPNcricinfo).

Reliving the moment

The innings featured six sixes and seven fours, with Dhoni targeting SRH’s death bowling. It was the kind of knock that changes the temperature of a season — and it happened against the very team GT would later dominate (Cricbuzz).

Why this matters

That Dhoni innings is the only individual score above 85 in the GT–SRH rivalry. No GT or SRH batter has matched it since — a reminder that individual brilliance can define a rivalry even when the head-to-head is lopsided.

The Dhoni innings underscores the gap between GT’s team dominance and SRH’s vulnerability to individual brilliance.

Can SRH win IPL 2026?

Current SRH form and playoff chances

SRH lost to GT in the league stage of IPL 2026, and their playoff qualification remained unresolved as of May 2026. Their record against GT — 2 wins from 6 matches — shows a team that struggles against disciplined bowling attacks (myKhel).

Barriers to an SRH title win

SRH’s inconsistency against top bowling sides — GT in particular — limits their title chances. They’ve yet to win a knockout match against GT, and their 86 all-out in 2026 suggests a fragile batting lineup under pressure (NDTV Sports).

What this means: SRH need to solve their batting depth if they want to challenge for the 2026 title. The blueprint for beating them is already public — early wickets, sustained pressure.

Key results from 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026

The pattern: GT’s bowling attack has tightened with every season. Their lowest conceded score against SRH dropped from 195 in 2022 to 86 in 2026 — a 56% reduction.

Quotes from the rivalry

“Gujarat Titans bowled out Sunrisers Hyderabad for 86, their lowest total of the season, to register a commanding 82-run victory.”

— NDTV Sports, match summary for GT vs SRH on May 12, 2026

“GT’s 224/6 is the highest total posted by either side in this fixture, a record set during the 2025 season when they beat SRH by 38 runs.”

— Cricbuzz, play-by-play from the 2025 match

For Sunrisers Hyderabad, the path forward requires a batting rebuild. The 2026 result shows that without a reliable middle order, even a modest total like 168 can feel like 250. Either they strengthen their batting depth before the next GT clash, or the head-to-head will keep tilting.
