Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2024 Highlights: Sunrisers Hyderabad became the third team to qualify for the playoffs after their match against Gujarat Titans was abandoned without toss due to incessant rain on Thursday.
Before the SRH vs GT IPL match, Hyderabad were fourth in the IPL 2024 standings with 14 points from 12 IPL matches. After the washout, Hyderabad now have 15 points from 13 IPL matches while Gujarat Titans end their IPL 2024 campaign with 12 points.
This puts SRH in third spot at least temporarily, but CSK could overhaul them with a win over RCB on Saturday. It must be noted there are chances of the RCB vs CSK game also being washed out.

Tanishq Vaddi, from Hyderabad: If the game gets washed out, a very real possibility by the look of things right now, SRH will qualify for the playoffs. But top 2 will depend on the result between RR vs KKR in Guwahati even if SRH beats PBKS on Sunday here.

Tanishq Vaddi, from Hyderabad: Just when the two teams had started to warm up and there were talks about an 8:30 PM start, it's started raining once again and the covers are back on. These aren't good signs as some of the crowd has started to leave. If this continues, we might have the game called off.
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Can Travis Head topple Virat Kohli in orange cap race?
128 runs separate the two but you wouldn't bet it against the Aussie, would you? He's been a breathe of fresh air as an SRH opener in the post-David Warner era, and has even got the best out of Abhishek Sharma.
As of now, Head sits third in the run-scoring tally, and has two league games left to be played as opposed to Kohli's one. As it stands, SRH have a better chance of making it to the playoffs than RCB, sorry not sorry namma fans.
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Pitch uncovered
Tanishq Vaddi, from Hyderabad: For the first time this evening, the pitch has been uncovered by the ground staff. SRH skipper Pat Cummins and coach Daniel Vettori having a peek at the surface as the ground staff provides finishing touches.

While Sunrisers Hyderabad are two points behind Rajasthan Royals, they still have a game in hand. If they win their remaining league fixtures, a solid net-run rate or a favorable result in Rajasthan's final fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders would be enough to help the 2016 winners pip the 2008 champions to get to the playoffs.

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Good update!
So the covers in Uppal are coming off, updates Tanishq Vaddi from the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Hopefully we can get an update about the toss in the next 15 minutes.
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Covers on, off, and back on again
Tanishq Vaddi (From Hyderabad): The rain has stopped but the covers are still on. The ground staff has worked relentlessly on the outfield that's been left uncovered for a bit now. Just as we speak, the match referee is having a word with the two captains and good news, the covers are being taken off. Spoke too soon, it's started drizzling again and the covers are back on.
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Players to watch out
SRH: All eyes will be on pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has recently found his mojo, taking 11 wickets in this edition of the IPL. Kumar has been a bane to Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill’s existence, dismissing him thrice while yielding just 57 runs. With the form he is in and Gill’s inconsistent run in the IPL, you will be well placed to not bet against the seamer.
GT: Skipper Gill roared back into form in the match against the Chennai Super Kings, scoring a blistering century and bringing up a 210-run first wicket partnership with Sai Sudharsan. He would have liked to flex his muscles against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders but weather had played spoilsport so tonight, he’ll hope to sign off the IPL with another strong performance with the bat against SRH.
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: The Travishek duo!
Out of the 583 runs he has scored in this season so far, Travis Head has got 385 runs (66.03%) in the powerplay alone. He averages 128.33 in this phase with a strike rate of 220. His opening partner Abhishek Sharma has scored 285 (71.07%) of his tally of 401 runs in the powerplay, at a strike rate of 205.04
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: The Pat Cummins mantra that has changed the way SRH play
Going into the season there was an element of not knowing what to expect from the side and Skipper Cummins- the player who was brought for a heavy price tag of 20.50 crores despite having a mediocre bowling record in IPL before the current season. Neither has he captained any IPL side or Australia in T20Is before but had proven his leadership for Australia in other formats.
However, leading a country and a franchise is comparing oranges to apples. Leading Australia where he has known his players for the majority of his career is quite different from leading an IPL side where he has to adapt and understand the skill sets of players sometimes he is unaware of in a short space of time. But all speculations were put to rest once the tournament started.

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Pre-match chatter
Simon Helmot, SRH assistant coach: "It was a little bit challenging the first time we played against Gujarat on their wicket. Again, it's just to remind ourselves not every wicket is going to be 200-plus. We need to assess in real time how it's going and communicate with each other, and remember that we're working in a partnership. That has been the learning we got after that game. We've been 11 games on since then (nine), we just need to make sure to maintain our strategy and execute as best we can."
Shubman Gill, GT captain: "It's never easy. Some of our key players got injured before the season, and in the season as well we've had some injuries. It's not easy for the players coming in to be able to perform straightaway. But apart from that I think it was just a matter of one match, here and there. The match against Delhi which we lost by one run, a match like that could go either way. I think in the first couple of years a lot of matches like that went in our favour. At the end of the day the margin is very close, so it's hard to identify or pinpoint a moment or a particular area. But I think collectively as a fielding unit we let ourselves down in some of the key moments."
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Hyderabad weather update

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: What is to be expected of the pitch?
The Sunrisers are playing the last 2 matches at home in the Uppal which is a typical batting surface, considering this is where SRH had decimated LSG by 10 wickets and posted the-then highest score of the IPL with 277 against the Mumbai Indians.

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: A record-breaker in age-group cricket, now an IPL star
“Invest in him. He’s the next big thing, not just in franchise cricket,” India batter Hanuma Vihari quote tweeted an old post on X, shortly after his young statemate Nitish Kumar Reddy smashed 64 runs off 37 balls for SunRisers Hyderabad against Punjab Kings.
As a 20-year-old, one must have serious potential to break into the SRH XI this year, with a host of international stars headlining the batting and bowling departments. Sealing a breezy win over the Chennai Super Kings with his eight-ball 14 cameo at number six that culminated with a six, Nitish had done enough to get another go. Lalith Kalidas traces the journey of a promising all-round prospect for Indian cricket. (READ HERE)

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Place your bets on SRH, they are following the Shane Warne playlist
Pat Cummins isn’t the kind of Aussie that India has grown up watching and grudgingly appreciated. He isn’t quite like the late Shane Warne. The confrontation and controversy seeker, the ‘play hard, party harder’ believer, the true celebrity cricketer – Warne was the Aussie. Cummins, though, is doing at Sun Risers Hyderabad (SRH) what Warne did at Rajasthan Royals in the opening season. (READ Sandeep Dwivedi's column on what makes SRH the favorites to go all the way this season)
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Pat Cummins the bowler
Every now and then, the world needs to be reminded, Cummins is really good at this hip thing called fast bowling. Cummins the skipper must be held accountable. It’s not like he isn’t considered among the greatest bowlers of this generation anymore, but it is during the coronation of a fine cricketing leader that the pacer has been flagrantly overlooked.

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: RR's baseball connection
Since the IPL became a 10-team format two seasons ago, Rajasthan Royals have slammed 351 sixes — the third most. The game-changer here is this number; nearly 29 percent of RR’s entire tally of sixes since 2008. Some of Rajasthan Royals’ brightest stars immediately impressed the in-house scouts by hitting sixes during trials over the years. A young Sanju Samson’s standout shot was a straight six to a back-of-the-length ball, Riyan Parag’s six was over mid-wicket, Dhruv Jurel went over extra cover, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ramp shot almost went all the way.
But Rajasthan Royals kept their big-hitters up to date with the batting evolution in T20 cricket. They were quick to learn from baseball, using data and research to stay ahead of the curve.
“That one shot made us love what we saw from them. And it was inevitably a six,” Zubin Bharucha, the head of high performance at Rajasthan Royals, explains. “All of them came with a certain six-hitting ability.” (READ MORE)

SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: Can CSK still qualify for play-offs if they don't win against RCB?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) late resurgence has been the story of the IPL 2024 season so far but can they pull off one more win in the IPL match against South Indian rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK)?
After languishing near the bottom of the points table in the first part of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season, RCB have turned the tide and now with five wins on the bounce they are currently placed at No 5 and are still alive for the IPL playoffs race.
But there will be a lot of interest from CSK fans too who will be desperate to see their team return to the playoffs, and possibly play the final scheduled in Chennai. So, can they still go through even if they lose the IPL match against a side on a roll? (READ MORE)
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: What happens if rain washes out RCB vs CSK?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in an IPL match that could potentially be a knockout game to decide which team to makes it to the IPL playoffs.
Both teams need to win the game to secure a spot. There is plenty of buzz for the IPL match, where fans will get to see Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni play. There is a possibility that this could be Dhoni’s last match for the Chennai Super Kings, which explains the surge in demand for tickets for the game.
But things are slightly complicated ahead of the RCB vs CSK IPL match on Saturday. (READ MORE TO FIND OUT)
SRH vs GT Live Score, IPL 2024: What Hyderabad SRH must do to qualify for playoffs
Played: 12, points: 14, NRR: 0.406 | Remaining matches: GT (h), PBKS (h)
SRH have two remaining matches, against Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings, both scheduled to be held at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on May 16 and 19. Despite their current standing, SRH will aim to secure victories in these matches to further solidify their position for the IPL playoffs. SRH’s superior run rate compared to LSG’s provides them with a considerable advantage, and securing just one win in their two remaining games should be sufficient to ensure their qualification for the IPL playoffs.
Two victories could potentially elevate them to contention for a top-two finish. However, if they were to lose both matches, their IPL playoff hopes could be jeopardized, as both CSK and RCB could leapfrog them in the standings based on Net Run Rate.
