SunRisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran was seemingly fuming during the IPL 2025 game against the Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday. With Abhishek Sharma enduring another failure, Kavya looked to be uttering some words of criticism as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
Abhishek, who had been quite explosive in IPL 2024 and for India in T20I cricket, has failed to get going in the ongoing edition of the lucrative T20 league. The left-handed batter has managed only 51 runs in five completed innings with a best of 24 and became one of Mohammed Siraj's four victims against the Titans after managing only 18.

SunRisers Hyderabad's batting fails again as they set Gujarat Titans a modest run-chase
Meanwhile, the SunRisers Hyderabad's batting unit painted a similar picture as the previous three games as their top order fell like a pack of cards, piling the pressure on the middle order. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy tried their best to revive the innings but the Titans came back every time to break a developing partnership. Pat Cummins' cameo of 22 off 9 deliveries lifted the SunRisers to 152/8.
Although the SunRisers had the Titans were teetering at 17/2, the bedrock of their successful run-chase was the 90-run stand between Gill and Washington Sundar. Gill, who stayed unbeaten at 61, also scored the winning run to consign the SunRisers to their fourth defeat on the trot.
