Netizens took to X to slam the Gujarat Titans batters as they recorded their lowest powerplay score of this season. The Titans were up against the SunRisers Hyderabad in the 56th clash of the IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Both sides entered the clash on the back of their respective wins, and with the season progressing towards the playoffs, the teams were hoping to dominate the field right from the beginning. However, after being asked to bat first, the home team got off to an absolutely horrific start.

Shubman Gill, who played a staggering knock of 84 runs in the previous clash against the Rajasthan Royals, was forced to walk back after a five-run knock after being caught out by Heinrich Klassen over a Praful Hinge delivery. Soon, Jos Buttler, who was hoping to help the side bounce back from their early setback, walked back after scoring just seven runs in 11 deliveries. Within no time, the 2022 champions were reduced to 26-2, and managed to post only 34 runs in the first six overs.
