GT vs SRH, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in the 51st match of the Indian Premier League 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. Gujarat Titans made one change to their lineup. Gerald Coetzee replaced Karim Janat. Sunrisers Hyderabad did not make any changes to their playing eleven.
Sunrisers captain Pat Cummins said they chose to bowl considering the conditions. "We will have a bowl. You never really what you will get. Sometimes it is better to bat at night. We won our first game at CSK's venue. Hopefully the trend continues here as well. If we win all our games, we still have a chance. We haven't quite clicked as a team. Last couple of games, we have done better. Same team," he said.
Titans captain Shubman Gill said they would have preferred to bowl first as well. He said the surface looked good for batting and added that their team is peaking at the right time. "We would have bowled first as well. Looks like a good wicket. Last game here we played against Mumbai, we batted first as well. The season has been pretty good for us. Nothing changes us for us. This is the time when good team peaks. We are not really looking at the NRR. We are looking to see each game as it is. We have one change. Gerald Coetzee comes in for Karim Janat," Gill said.
