Hyderabad boy Mohammed Siraj proved to be the nemesis of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Thanks to his career-best IPL spell of 4-0-17-4, a dominant Gujarat Titans side destroyed SRH by seven wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Sunday. A demoralised SRH succumbed to their fourth successive defeat, while GT notched up their third win in four matches to climb to the second spot.

Chasing 153, GT lost two wickets by the fourth over with Mohammed Shami and skipper Pat Cummins dismissing left-hander Sai Sudharsan (5) and Jos Buttler (0) in quick succession. But skipper Shubman Gill (61 not out off 43 balls) and Washington Sundar (49) weathered the early storm with a 90-run stand off 56 balls to put GT on the road to victory. Getting his Titans cap at the start of the match, the Tamil Nadu left-hander slid in gracefully as a top-order batsman, while Gill was at his flamboyant best, leaving SRH high and dry. Impact batter Sherfane Rutherford hastened the end with a quick-fire 35 off 16 balls. Earlier, enjoying his bowling with his new team GT under Ashish Nehra, Siraj decimated SRH batters.
