    16.2 Sudharsan tries to be funky, and pays the price! Well, to be fair to him, GT needed an injection of momentum. Yorker on leg and Sudharsan tries to reverse-lap it. Does not get into a good enough position (neither low enough, nor with the requisite room), and he plonks it to short third. Hinge with a slightly unconventional catching technique but he holds on! 124/4
    2.2 has that carried?! Looks like it has, and Hinge has sent the GT skipper packing! Full and slanting into off stump. Gill plants his front foot and looks to shovel an on-drive away. Does not get on top of it, and does not get under it enough either. Hits it flat to Klaasen at mid on, who lunges forward and picks it up inches off the turf. GT rocked early! 15/1
    5.1 appeal for a caught-behind, but the umpire responds with a wide call! And SRH review. Full and sneaking a touch down leg. Buttler shapes for the scoop and shuffles across, and Kishan and the bowler think there is bat involved. And they are fully correct. Clear spike when the ball is next to the bat, and Buttler has to go! 26/2
    9.3 launched straight to long off, and Sindhu has to trudge off! Fullish outside off and this is there to be lofted. Sindhu, though, tries to take on the sweeper and on this sluggish track, that is fraught with danger. Chips it straight down Klaasen's throat, and Sindhu has to walk back after a sprightly cameo! 64/3
    19.5 skewed a mile up, and Kishan lunges forward to gobble it up! What a grab! Off-pace and into the track on middle and off. Sundar does not pick the variation and is a week early into the stroke. Swipes at it anyway and the ball goes straight up. Kishan charges after it and dives forward to complete the catch in the square leg region. Top effort, but take nothing away from a top Sundar knock either! 164/5

    0.4 off the leading edge, and caught at deep backward point! Dream over by Siraj, and now the dream start for GT! Siraj has had Head on toast throughout the over, and now he has his reward. Back of a length on leg. Shapes away and Head gets turned inside out. Looks to flick it away but all he does is find the sweeper via the leading edge. Siraj thrilled to bits, and this crowd has come alive! 0/1
    1.4 chopped on in the most freakish of manners, and Rabada roars back! Shortish and following the batter as he steps outside leg. Abhishek looks to defend but the extra pace means that he only manages to dab it onto his stumps. What a moment. Abhishek cannot believe it. But the crowd believes now. SRH rocked twice in two overs, and this game is turning! 6/2
    3.1 nicked and gone! Some Rabada redemption in Ahmedabad, and SRH are in freefall! Back of a length in the channel and this zips through. A bit of nip away too and Kishan, cramped for room on the cut, only manages to feather it through to the keeper. GT have three inside four overs, and SRH are reeling! 23/3
    5.5 popped straight to mid off, and Rabada has three! Slot ball just outside off and Smaran's eyes light up. He does not quite get under it, though, and offers Gill the simplest of catches. Rabada is delighted, as are those clad in GT colours in the stands, and SRH sink further into trouble! 32/4
    10.1 a massive top edge, and Klaasen perishes too! And is that the game?! Back of a length on off and this seems to stick in the surface. Klaasen looks to tug it leg-side but the extra bounce, plus the lack of pace, means the ball loops up off the leading/top edge. Buttler calls early, runs back to his left and tumbles to complete the catch. Holder is overjoyed, and this might be the final nail in SRH's coffin for the night! 56/6
    9.4 edged and taken! Arora falls, and Prasidh is into the wicket-taking act too! Back of a length outside off and this moves away off the pitch. Arora goes nibbling at it and gets a healthy nick that Buttler snares to his right. SRH lose their fifth, and GT tighten their grip on this contest! 56/5
    10.4 sliced to backward point, and catch Holder if you can now! GT on the prowl, and SRH sliding! Back of a length outside off and this kicks up just a shade. Nitish tries to punch it through the off side but gets it too much behind point, which brings Sundar, who is in very tight, into play at backward point. He moves smartly to his left and does the rest, and GT have SRH seven down inside 11 overs! 60/7
    13.4 another miscue, and Cummins bites the dust too! GT almost there now. Hard length just outside off. Cummins swings himself off his feet and skews it off the leading edge. The ball hangs in the air for an eternity and when it does come down, Siraj is placed at deep third to snaffle it up. SRH nine down! 82/9
    12.2 a chip off the glove, and Holder has three too! Full toss outside off. Shivang, rather ambitiously, pre-meditates the scoop. Gets down low enough but he cannot make proper contact. The ball spoons up off the glove and Buttler dives forward to his left to send Shivang on his way! 72/8
    14.5 stumped by an absolute mile, and GT have won by an absolute landslide too! SRH consigned to their lowest-ever total, and GT have demolished their fellow playoff contenders to go top! Another wrong'un, dragged back a little on leg. Hinge advances, swings for the hills and misses. Buttler collects and whips off the bails, and that is the cue for the fireworks to go off. GT have blown SRH out of the water, and they now make it five consecutive wins for only the second time in their IPL history! 86/10
