Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans Timeline: History & Stats

When Gujarat Titans entered the IPL in 2022, they reshaped a league that Sunrisers Hyderabad had already left their mark on since 2016. What followed was a rivalry that, while brief, delivered some memorable moments — including a maiden century, rain-shortened encounters, and a lopsided head-to-head record favoring the Titans.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans timeline 2022

The inaugural chapter of this rivalry opened with SRH claiming the only head-to-head victory they would manage against GT. On April 11, 2022, at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets. Kane Williamson led the chase with an unbeaten 57, anchoring SRH’s pursuit of the Titans’ total.

The rivalry shifted dramatically less than three weeks later. On April 27, 2022, at what sources alternately list as DY Patil Stadium or Wankhede Stadium, GT chased down 199 runs to win by 5 wickets. SRH posted 195/6; GT reached 199/5 in their reply. Umran Malik claimed 5/25 for SRH in a devastating spell, yet the Titans proved too strong.

GT went on to win the 2022 IPL title that season — defeating Rajasthan Royals in the final — becoming only the second franchise after Chennai Super Kings (2008) to win the league in their debut year. The 2022 season established GT as a dominant force, one that SRH would struggle to contain.

The implication: SRH’s solitary win in 2022 was an early warning sign that went unheeded; GT’s championship pedigree immediately showed in their ability to win close matches.

Match Date and Venue

• Match 2: April 27, 2022 — DY Patil/Wankhede Stadium (sources conflict)

Key Highlights

• SRH: Williamson 57* (April 11); 195/6 total (April 27)

• GT’s title win in debut season established psychological edge over SRH

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans timeline 2023

The 2023 chapter brought rain and a record-breaking individual performance. The first scheduled encounter in Hyderabad was abandoned without a ball bowled — the first of what would become a pattern of weather disrupting this particular matchup.

The more consequential meeting came on May 15, 2023, at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT posted 188/9, with Shubman Gill producing his maiden IPL century — an unbeaten 101 off 58 balls. SRH managed only 154/9 in reply, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking 5/30. GT won by 34 runs in a dominant display.

GT finished runners-up in IPL 2023 overall, losing the final to Chennai Super Kings. That runner-up finish demonstrated consistency even as SRH struggled mid-table — the head-to-head dynamics remained firmly in Gujarat’s favor.

What this means: Even in a season when GT reached the final, their dominance over SRH remained absolute. A 34-run margin in Ahmedabad reflected more than a points differential — it was a venue statement.

Match Date and Venue

• Match 3 (abandoned): Hyderabad — no result due to rain
• Match 4: May 15, 2023 — Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

Result

• GT 188/9 (Gill 101*) defeated SRH 154/9 by 34 runs
• Bhuvneshwar Kumar 5/30 for SRH; match defined by Gill’s century
• GT: IPL 2023 Runners-up

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans timeline today

The 2024 season opened with renewed SRH ambition after their 2023 struggles. On March 31, 2024, at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the teams met again — and GT’s dominance continued. SRH posted 162/8; GT chased 168/3 in 19.1 overs, winning by 7 wickets.

A second 2024 meeting scheduled for May 16 in Hyderabad suffered the same fate as 2023 — abandoned due to rain, leaving no result. SRH’s home venue in Hyderabad has now witnessed two consecutive abandonments against GT, denying SRH a chance to break through at home.

Meanwhile, SRH reached the IPL 2024 final that season, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders before losing to Kolkata Knight Riders in the championship match — a significant turnaround from their mid-table finish in 2023. GT, by contrast, missed the playoffs entirely, a stark reversal from their 2023 runner-up position.

SRH and GT have met five to seven times depending on which sources are most accurate — with the discrepancy arising from differing counts of the 2022 encounters and the rain-affected matches. The widely cited myKhel count of 7 matches (GT 5 wins, SRH 1 win, 1 no result) appears most reliable, though some sources record only 5 completed matches up to 2024.

Latest Updates

• Match 5: March 31, 2024 — Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad: GT won by 7 wickets
• Match 6: May 16, 2024 — Hyderabad: Abandoned (rain) — no result
• SRH reached IPL 2024 final; GT missed playoffs

Predictions

• SRH rebuilding with Pat Cummins as captain; aims to break GT stranglehold
• GT seeking playoff return under Shubman Gill’s leadership
• Post-2024 encounters require confirmation from official IPL schedule

Has Sunrisers Hyderabad won the IPL?

Yes — Sunrisers Hyderabad won the IPL in 2016, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final. That victory remains SRH’s sole championship in nine seasons of competition. The 2016 title came under captain David Warner and featured a dominant bowling attack led by Ashish Nehra and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

SRH has reached the IPL final twice: 2016 (won) and 2024 (lost to Kolkata Knight Riders). The franchise has never won the IPL after 2016, making their continued quest for a second title one of the more compelling narratives in recent seasons.

Gujarat Titans, by contrast, won the IPL in their debut season (2022), defeating Rajasthan Royals in the final. GT finished runners-up in 2023 but missed the playoffs entirely in 2024 — a dramatic fall from their championship heights.

IPL Titles

• SRH: 1 title (2016) — defeated RCB in final
• GT: 1 title (2022) — defeated RR in final (debut season)

Key Achievements

• SRH: 2 finals appearances (2016, 2024), consistent playoff contender
• GT: 2 finals appearances (2022 champion, 2023 runner-up)
• SRH’s 2016 title predates GT’s existence by six years

Is Pat Cummins available for IPL 2026?

Australian captain Pat Cummins joined Sunrisers Hyderabad as their skipper ahead of IPL 2024, leading them to the final in his debut season. Reports from cricket outlets indicate Cummins has confirmed availability for select matches, though his international schedule with Australia (Ashes tours, ICC tournaments) may affect his presence in future IPL seasons.

Cummins’ leadership transformed SRH from a mid-table team into a title contender in 2024. His availability for IPL 2026 remains subject to confirmation, as Australia’s Test and ODI commitments typically run concurrent with the IPL window in March-May.

The IPL scheduling has expanded in recent years, creating conflicts with Australian domestic cricket. Whether Cummins prioritizes IPL 2026 alongside international duties will depend on negotiations between Cricket Australia and the BCCI — a tension that affects all Australian internationals in the league.

Recent Confirmations

• Cummins confirmed availability for select IPL 2024 matches — delivered leading SRH to final
• Australian international schedule creates uncertainty for full-season availability
• SRH seeking to retain Cummins as captain for 2025-2026 seasons
