Kashmirs Almond Industry Needs a Revival
Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley, is the largest producer, accounting for over 90% of Indias almond production DR MEHRA-UD-DIN SHEIKH | DR MOHAMMED TAUSEEF ALI Almonds (Prunus amygdalus) are often called nuts, but they are actually drupes, consisting of an outer fleshy part called a hull, a hard shell, and an inner seed that is often referred to as a kernel. Almonds are believed to be native to the Mediterranean and Central to Western Asia. Almonds belong to the family of Rosaceae and genus Prunus. Ripe almonds look like large green fruits and often split open by themselves, exposing the hard shell covering the seed, which is the edible part. Almonds are of two types, depending on the nature of the tree. Sweet Almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis) Sweet almond trees are grown for their edible seed. (ii) Bitter Almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. amara)bitter almonds are grown for the bitter almond oil. Almonds are rich sources of protein, fibre, vitamin E, antioxidants, calcium, copper, magnesium and riboflavin. They are also a source of iron, potassium, zinc and the B vitamins niacin, thiamine and folate. A 30-gram serving has 13 g of healthy unsaturated fats and 1 g of saturated fat. Per 30-gram serving, almonds boast more vitamin E (7.7 mg), calcium (80 mg) and riboflavin (0.3 mg) than any other nut. Almonds also provide 6 grams of plant protein per 30-gram serving. Almonds are naturally salt-free/sodium-free and low in sugars. Almonds are incredibly versatile in food preparation, finding their place in both sweet and savoury dishes. They can be enjoyed raw, roasted, or processed into various forms like almond flour, almond butter, or almond milk. Almonds are used as a snack, a topping, or an ingredient in everything from cookies, chocolates, candies, cakes, stir-fries, ice creams, etc. Almond cultivation in India is primarily concentrated in the mountainous regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley, is the largest producer, accounting for over 90% of Indias almond production. Other states, such as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, are also looking into growing almonds in some of their best areas, but their contributions are very small. Almonds require a climate with slightly hot summer temperatures ranging from 30 to 35C and cool winters for plant growth and kernel filling. Unopened blossoms shall withstand cold up to -2.2C, but blossoms at the petal fall stage are damaged at 0.50C to -1.1C. The blossoms can withstand temperatures ranging from -2.2C to -3.3C for a short time, but if low temperatures continue for long hours, they get damaged easily. It has a low winter chilling requirement of about 300 to 600 hours at or below 7C. Because of this low chilling requirement (or short rest period) and the relatively low amount of heat, it brings the trees earlier into bloom; therefore, the almond is generally the earliest deciduous fruit or nut tree to flower, hence extremely vulnerable to frost injury where moderately late-spring frosts prevail. Almonds need ample rainfall or irrigation water for maximum production of well-filled almond nuts. The almond tree has been successfully grown on a wide range of soils; however, sandy loams are best. It is a deeply rooted tree, and its performance is better in deep, fertile, and well-drained soils. Almond trees have high N and P requirements. International and National scenario The area under almonds in the world is 2.3 mha, whereas production is 3.5 million tonnes. In this, the USA is the largest contributor in production with 1.79 million tonnes, followed by Spain, Australia, Turkey, Morocco, Syria and so on (FAOSTAT, 2025). Therefore, the USA produces 51.14% of the worlds almond production in 2025. The California region of the USA dominates almond production. At the national level, the area under almond is 10150 ha, and production is 11280 tonnes (National Horticulture data, 2021), for which J&K contributes dominantly over 90% and on which the Kashmir Valley contributes almost 99%. J&K and Himachal Pradesh have an area of 4.68 and 5.48 ha and production of 1.35 and 9.93 MT and productivity (t/ha) of 0.29 and 1.81, respectively (National Horticulture data, 2021). The almond cultivation in the valley is mainly in the districts of Pulwama, Budgam, Srinagar, Baramulla and Srinagar, where production exceeds 552 tonnes annually. There are vast stretches of almond plantation in these areas, and most of them are on highlands locally called karewas. The altitude of the Kashmir Valley varies across areas, ranging from 1500 to 1850 m amsl. The mean annual precipitation of the Kashmir Valley is around 1000 mm. Pulwama is the leading producer of almonds in the Union Territory (UT), with a production of 6468 metric tonnes (MT) in 202122, followed by Budgam (1940 MT), Baramulla (553 MT) and Srinagar (741 MT). Therefore, almost all of the production comes from the Kashmir Valley. The total area under UT is 5457 hectares (ha), and production is 9811 MT (Table). The figure indicates that almond production in J&K is experiencing an overall declining trend. The land under almond cultivation was recorded as 17247 ha (2001-02), which has now reduced to 5457 ha (2021-22). J&K UT has lost a whopping 11,790 hectares of land that used to be under almond cultivation. The decline in the area under almond cultivation in the UT during 2014 and 2015 was mainly attributed to the incessant rainfall in September 2014, which caused damage to almond orchards due to waterlogging on Karewas.

'We Need To Forget This Game As Quickly As We Can': Vettori After Loss Against GT
Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Daniel Vettori urged his players to quickly move on from their crushing 82-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans and focus on bringing fresh energy into their remaining IPL 2026 fixtures against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). SRH were bowled out for just 86 in 14.5 overs while chasing 168 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, as Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder shared six wickets between them. Addressing the team in the dressing room after the defeat, Vettori said the immediate priority was to leave the performance behind and focus on preparation for the remaining league games. I think we've got two challenges moving forward. The first challenge is to forget this game as quickly as we can because it actually holds no relevance for the next two fixtures that we have on surfaces that we're very acclimated to, Vettori said in a video released by SRH on X. So, this performance happened today, and obviously there'll be some disappointment, but there's not much we can take out of it that actually propels us forward to the next game, he added. The former New Zealand captain also highlighted the difficulty of maintaining intensity during the latter stages of a long tournament and admitted the team looked mentally and physically drained in the field. And at the back end of these very long tournaments, we're not a roller coaster, but we've been on top a lot. We've had a couple of blips. It's hard to actually push yourself, Vettori observed. And I think today in the field, I saw a group that looked maybe a little tired, maybe a little bit off the ball, and whether that translated into our batting, who knows? he said. Vettori stressed that SRHs preparation and energy levels before the upcoming clash against CSK would be crucial. The only thing that I want or the coaches want or Paddy wants is that when we hit training, you're ready to go and you have an understanding of how you want to prepare, he stated. Because I think that will be a difference maker for us going into that game against Chennai, and then if we get it going there, we can take it on to the game against RCB as well, he added. The SRH coach also encouraged players to take responsibility for their preparation and mindset ahead of the decisive matches. So the ball's in everyone's court now to relax, rest up, and then when we turn up together in Chennai, what sort of energy can you bring? Vettori said. The SRH coach also encouraged players to take responsibility for their preparation and mindset ahead of the decisive matches.

'He Is Becoming An Accomplished Leader': Rayudu Praises Gill's Captaincy
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu praised Shubman Gill for his growing maturity as captain, saying the Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper now looks sorted and settled while leading the side in IPL 2026. Gills leadership once again came under the spotlight after the Gujarat Titans (GT) climbed to the top of the points table with a dominant 82-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. He looks so sorted and settled as a captain, compared to what we have seen him in the first season that he has led. So, he is now becoming an accomplished leader, slowly but steadily, he is really getting up there, Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo. Rayudu also reflected on discussions surrounding Gills handling of spin bowlers during his early days as captain, particularly during his stint leading India in Test cricket on the England tour. The parameter generally is how a captain handles spin, and that is something that was a point of discussion when he captained India in a couple of Test matches in England as well, he said. However, Rayudu believes Gill has adapted smartly to the Gujarat Titans current strengths by showing greater trust in the pace attack led by Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Jason Holder, and Prasidh Krishna. But apart from that, there have been occasions wherein he has shown greater faith in the faster bowlers than the spinners, and once you have the calibre of Rashid Khan, at times he has been under-bowled, Rayudu said. But having a line-up of five fast bowlers and if they are doing well and if they are successful, why do you want to unnecessarily disturb the pattern of play, he added. Rayudu further explained that Gills willingness to back his pacers instead of forcing spin into the attack reflects a growing tactical maturity. So, I think he is doing a pretty good job of, at times, not using the spinner can also be a good strategy, he said.

CSk Have Decent Chance To Be In Top 4; For RR A Lot Depends On Sooryavanshi's Performance: Chawla
Chennai Super Kings: Piyush Chawla reckoned that Chennai Super Kings have a decent chance to break into the top four as their three-match winning streak has given them the necessary momentum in the race for the playoffs. After starting the season with three straight defeats, the five-time champions successfully revitalised their campaign by winning three of their next five matches, eventually finding their peak form to secure three consecutive victories in their most recent outings. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side are currently sitting fifth in the points table with 12 points in 11 games, four points behind the leader Gujarat Titans. I feel Chennai have a decent chance. We talk a lot about momentum in T20 cricket, and they have that after winning their last three matches. They are playing some really good cricket. Their batters are doing the job, but it is the bowlers, Anshul Kamboj, the spin duo of Noor and Akeal Hosein, and Jamie Overton in the middle overs, who are making the difference, Chawla said on JioStar. In their last match against Lucknow Super Giants, for the first time since 2018 CSK had accomplished a chase in excess of 200. After LSG posted a total of 203/8, CSK, in reply, raced to 97 at the end of the powerplay, their second highest in the IPL, with Urvil Patel (23-ball 65) leading the way. Skipper Gaikwad scored a handy 42 as well. Shivam Dube (15* off 7 balls) and Prashant Veer (17* off 12 balls) applied the finishing touches as the Men in Yellow breezed past the target with four balls in hand. They are restricting teams to totals in the 180-200 range. A score of 200 has become the norm, but when you restrict teams to scores below that, the batters also have breathing space, and CSKs bowlers have managed to provide that of late, he added. Skipper Gaikwad scored a handy 42 as well.

'Rabada Read Abhishek's Movement Perfectly, That Was High-quality Bowling': Pujara
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara praised Kagiso Rabada for his smart tactical adjustment against Abhishek Sharma, calling it 'high-quality bowling' after the Gujarat Titans (GT) commanding 82-run win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rabada once again starred with the ball for the Gujarat Titans, finishing with figures of 3/28 in four overs as SRH were bowled out for just 86 while chasing 168. The South African pacer now has 21 wickets in IPL 2026 and continues to play a key role in GTs rise to the top of the points table. Abhishek Sharma tried to create room on that delivery where he got dismissed, which batters often do when the ball is quick and bouncing. But credit to Kagiso Rabada. He read Abhisheks movement, Pujara told Jio Hotstar. Originally, Rabada was bowling outside the fourth stump line. When Abhishek shuffled across early, Rabada adjusted his line. He followed the batter and cramped him for room. The result was an inside edge onto the stumps. That was high-quality bowling, he added. Rabada struck after Mohammed Siraj had already provided the ideal start by dismissing Travis Head for a duck in the opening over. The fast bowler then removed both Abhishek and Ishan Kishan to leave Hyderabad in deep trouble inside the powerplay. Pujara also pointed out how the Ahmedabad surface assisted the fast bowlers with additional bounce and pace. The ball also hit Abhisheks glove before taking the inside edge of his bat, which shows the ball bounced more than expected. There was a bit of extra zip off the wicket as well, Pujara said.

Amit Shah cuts convoy size by over 50% amid Centres austerity push
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday reduced the size of his official convoy by more than 50 per cent, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modis recent call for austerity and responsible fuel consumption amid the ongoing West Asia crisis. Visuals captured by ANI showed the scaled-down convoy as Shah left his Delhi residence to attend a Cabinet meeting. Despite the reduction, all mandatory vehicles required under the Central Reserve Police Forces Z+ security protocol remained part of the convoy. Officials, while declining to disclose specific security details, said the move marks one of the first visible implementations of the Prime Ministers austerity directive. Earlier, Modi had urged citizens and government departments to adopt measures aimed at conserving fuel and reducing unnecessary expenditure. According to reports, the Prime Minister had also reduced the size of his own convoy during recent visits to Gujarat and Assam, while directing officials to incorporate electric vehicles into official convoys wherever feasible without making fresh purchases. The austerity measures come amid rising global crude oil prices and economic concerns triggered by tensions in West Asia and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. India, one of the worlds largest oil importers, is closely monitoring the situation as higher energy prices threaten to impact inflation and economic growth.

'You Have To Acknowledge Nehra's Influence On GT Bowlers': Bangar
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes that head coach Ashish Nehra deserves far more credit for transforming the Gujarat Titans (GT) into one of the most formidable bowling units in IPL 2026, saying the head coach consistently gets the best out of his fast bowlers. Bangars remarks came after the Gujarat Titans climbed to the top of the points table with a massive 82-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. GTs pace attack once again starred, with Kagiso Rabada returning figures of 3-28 and Jason Holder claiming 3-20 as SRH were bowled out for just 86 while chasing 168. I think you have to acknowledge the influence of Ashish Nehra on the bowlers that play under him. There have been multiple bowlers like Siraj, who did play under him at the start of his career in 2017-18. At that time, he wasnt the Mohammed Siraj that he is today. But him enjoying this stint with GT, Kagiso Rabada as well, Bangar told ESPNcricinfo. Bangar also pointed to Rabadas resurgence this season under Nehras guidance. The South African pacer has been one of the standout bowlers of IPL 2026 with 21 wickets so far and played a major role in dismantling Hyderabads top order alongside Mohammed Siraj.

IPL 2026: 'Rabada Has Become The Leader Of GT Pace Attack,' Says Karim
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim lavished praise on Kagiso Rabada, calling him the leader of the pace attack after the South African spearheaded Gujarat Titans (GT) dominant 82-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Rabada continued his outstanding season with another impactful spell, returning figures of 3-28 in four overs as Gujarat bundled out Hyderabad for just 86 while defending 168/5. The fast bowler now has 21 wickets in IPL 2026 and remains one of the leading wicket-takers of the tournament. With the kind of form he is in, Rabada has become the leader of this GT pace attack. Once again, he stuck to his strengths brilliantly. He generated extra bounce off the surface and looked fiery throughout his spell, Karim told Jio Hotstar. The way he planned Abhishek Sharmas wicket was wonderful to watch. Even against Ishan Kishan, who looked solid whenever the ball was pitched in his zone, Rabada smartly kept the ball short and away from him to force the mistake. Overall, he sets the tone for the rest of the bowlers. He is the one who leads the bowling plans, and the others follow his lead, he added. Rabada played a crucial role in dismantling SRH's top order after Mohammed Siraj had provided the perfect start by dismissing Travis Head for a duck in a wicket-maiden opening over. Rabada then removed both Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan before dismissing Smaran Ravichandran to leave SRH struggling at 34/4 inside the powerplay. After Rabadas fiery spell, Jason Holder ensured there was no recovery for Hyderabad with figures of 3/20, while Prasidh Krishna picked up two wickets.

'Winning Five Games On The Trot Shows Our Consistency As A Unit': Sundar
Narendra Modi Stadium: All-rounder Washington Sundar lauded the clarity and consistency within the team after Gujarat Titans (GT) won their fifth consecutive match in IPL 2026 after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 82 runs on Tuesday. Having posted what initially appeared to be a below-par 168/5 on a difficult surface of Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat bowled SRH out for just 86 in 14.5 overs, with the pace attack exploiting the conditions brilliantly before the spinners finished the job. It means a lot. This season has been extremely competitive, with every team coming hard at us. To win five games on the trot speaks volumes about the consistency weve shown as a unit. At the same time, sticking to what has worked for us is also a challenge. You can sometimes lose rhythm by trying to do too many things, but I think weve done well to avoid that. A lot of credit has to go to the team for maintaining that clarity and consistency, Sundar told Jio Hotstar. Coming to bat after losing the toss, the Gujarat Titans suffered early blows and were 64-3 in 9.3 overs, but Sundar and Sai Sudharsan forged a 60-run partnership which helped the team reach 168 in 20 overs. Speaking about the partnership, Sundar revealed that the proper communication between the two helped them understand the situation and play the shots accordingly. Its always enjoyable batting with Sai because we constantly communicate in the middle. It was important for me to understand both the situation and the nature of the wicket, especially since it was doing a bit more than usual. Early on, I wasnt finding boundaries, while Sai was able to get them without taking many risks. That balance really helped both of us and allowed the partnership to settle in nicely, Sundar said. Despite GT coming on top in the points table with 16 points in 12 games, Sundar believes that it is important to stay in the present and focus on playing good cricket.

Jason Holder (3-20) and Prasidh Krishna (2-23) relentlessly maintained the pressure through the middle overs. SRH captain Pat Cummins provided the only fleeting moment of resistance, smashing 19 off just 9 deliveries (1 four, 2 sixes) before mishitting a pull shot off Prasidh Krishna, smartly caught by Siraj at third man.

Half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar set a strong total. Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder then dismantled the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup. Gujarat Titans achieved their fifth consecutive win.
Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins admitted his side may have missed a trick with the ball after Gujarat Titans exposed the difficult batting conditions far better in an emphatic 82-run win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Defending a modest-looking 168, GT ripped through SRH for just 86, with their pacers relentlessly attacking hard lengths on a surface that offered steep assistance throughout the chase. Reflecting on the contrast between the two bowling performances, Cummins said SRH perhaps failed to persist enough with the same approach during GTs innings. Yeah, I mean, you always look at it. It looked like a pretty tough wicket once you kind of hit that back of the length, and they didn't really give us much to score. So, perhaps in our bowling innings, you kind of, you learn from that, you think maybe we could have held our lengths just a little bit longer, Cummins said after the defeat. SRH had walked off at the innings break believing the target was within reach after restricting GT to 168/5, but the chase unravelled almost immediately. Mohammed Siraj removed Travis Head for a duck in the opening over before Kagiso Rabada tore through the top order to leave Hyderabad in complete disarray. Cummins credited Gujarats attack for executing their plans flawlessly on a demanding surface. I feel they bowled really well in that second innings. I was pretty happy with it when we walked off at the start, but yeah, pretty tricky wicket. I think they made the most of it, their bowlers, they bowled really well. So, yeah, maybe try and look at ways to get through that spell, but, you know, they deserve a bit of credit, he said. The Australian skipper went a step further, describing the performance as elite-level T20 bowling as he said, But overall, you know, I thought that, that's as good as T20 bowling as you're going to see from them. Despite the collapse, Cummins refused to overreact to a rare off-night from SRHs usually explosive batting line-up. Our batting order's been fantastic. So I don't think we need to read it too far into today. I think all four of our top four have over 400 runs. So, the guys are going really well. This happens in T20 cricket, he stated. Despite the collapse, Cummins refused to overreact to a rare off-night from SRHs usually explosive batting line-up. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think getting ahead of the count pretty early (is important). I think we won five or six out of the last seven. Gives you a bit of breathing room these last few games.

IPL 2026: Rabada, Holder Rip Through SRH As GT March To Crushing 82-run Win
Indian Premier League: Jason Holder and Kagiso Rabada starred with the ball as Gujarat Titans (GT) dismantled Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 82 runs in a one-sided clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. After Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar guided GT to a competitive 168/5 with composed half-centuries, Rabada and Holder combined to rip through Hyderabads batting line-up and bowl the visitors out for just 86 in 14.5 overs. The chase never truly took off after Mohammed Siraj delivered a sensational opening over. The fast bowler removed Travis Head for a duck in a wicket maiden, forcing an early collapse. Rabada then took over and struck twice in his first two overs despite conceding sixes to Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Abhishek dragged one back onto his stumps, while Kishan edged behind to leave SRH reeling at 23/3. Smaran Ravichandran and Heinrich Klaasen attempted to steady the innings with a few boundaries, but Rabada continued to exploit the helpful surface with pace and movement. He dismissed Smaran in the sixth over to complete an outstanding spell of 4-0-28-3 as Hyderabad slumped to 34/4 in the powerplay. Klaasen and Salil Arora briefly resisted during the middle overs, but Holder extinguished any hopes of a recovery with a superb spell. The West Indies all-rounder first removed Klaasen, who miscued a pull shot to Jos Buttler, before dismissing Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shivang Kumar in quick succession. Holders disciplined lengths and clever variations earned him figures of 4-0-20-3 and ensured SRH never got close to the required run rate. Prasidh Krishna then chipped in with two wickets, including that of Pat Cummins, before Rashid Khan sealed the emphatic victory with the final wicket. Earlier, GT recovered impressively after a difficult start, with Sudharsan and Sundar producing crucial knocks under pressure. Pat Cummins and Praful Hinge kept the hosts in check during the powerplay and removed Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler cheaply as GT crawled to 34/2 after six overs. Sudharsan once again anchored the innings with maturity and fluency. The left-hander absorbed the early pressure before shifting gears with a series of crisp drives and clean hits down the ground. He brought up his fifty with a sweep off Shivang Kumar and continued to hold the innings together. Nishant Sindhu provided useful support with a brisk cameo before Cummins struck to break the partnership. Washington Sundar then took charge in the latter stages alongside Sudharsan. The left-hander found boundaries consistently against both pace and spin, while Sudharsan completed a composed 61 off 44 deliveries before falling to Sakib Hussain. Sundar carried the momentum into the final overs and brought up a valuable fifty off 33 balls before being dismissed in the last over. Late contributions from Jason Holder and Rahul Tewatia pushed the Titans to 168, a total that proved far too much for SRH on a challenging surface.

IPL 2026: Sudharsan, Sundar Help GT Recover From Early Blows To Post 168/5 Against SRH
Indian Premier League: A composed half-century from Sai Sudharsan and a late flourish by Washington Sundar rescued Gujarat Titans from a shaky start and carried them to 168/5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. After being asked to bat, Gujarat never really found early momentum as SRHs disciplined new-ball attack kept the hosts under pressure throughout the powerplay. Pat Cummins set the tone immediately with probing hard lengths, while Praful Hinge struck crucial blows to leave GT struggling at 34/2, their lowest powerplay score of the season. Sai Sudharsan was once again the stabilising force for Gujarat. The left-hander weathered the difficult phase with calm accumulation before gradually shifting gears once the field spread. He found support first from Nishant Sindhu, whose brisk 22 off 14 injected some much-needed momentum after a sluggish start. Sindhu counterattacked impressively, hammering Nitish Kumar Reddy for an 85-metre six and following it with boundaries against Hinge, but his promising stay ended when he miscued Pat Cummins to Heinrich Klaasen at long-off. That dismissal brought Washington Sundar to the crease, and the all-rounder played a defining hand in reviving Gujarats innings. Initially watchful, Sundar settled quickly against spin before targeting the pace bowlers in the death overs with clever placement and calculated aggression. Meanwhile, Sudharsan continued his remarkable consistency this season. He pierced the off-side field regularly, striking elegant boundaries off Sakib Hussain and Eshan Malinga, while also launching a straight six over the bowlers head to move into the forties. His fifty came in style when he swept Shivang Kumar to the boundary, marking his third successive 50-plus score of the campaign. The pair stitched together a crucial 60-run partnership for the fourth wicket, helping Gujarat recover from 68/3 after ten overs. Sundars intent against the short ball and his ability to access gaps square of the wicket ensured the scoring rate never completely stalled during the middle phase. SRH, however, kept pulling things back at key moments. Cummins delivered an excellent spell of 1/20 in four overs, executing yorkers consistently during the middle overs, while Hinges sharp spell of 2/10 provided the breakthrough platform. Sakib Hussain then removed Sudharsan for 61 off 44 balls when the batter miscued an attempted scoop to short third man. Despite that setback, Sundar ensured Gujarat finished strongly. He accelerated in the final overs with scoops, pulls, and flicks against Malinga and Sakib, bringing up a 33-ball fifty to loud applause from the Ahmedabad crowd. Sundar eventually departed for 50 in the penultimate over, caught by Ishan Kishan off Sakib Hussains slower delivery. Rahul Tewatia added the finishing touch with a boundary off the final ball as Gujarat closed on a competitive total after a difficult beginning. For SRH, Sakib Hussain finished with two wickets, while Cummins and Hinge played vital roles in restricting Gujarat from threatening the 180-mark on a surface that offered assistance to the seamers throughout the innings.

The young fast bowler also opened up on his own rhythm with the ball after recovering from a shoulder injury earlier in the season. I'm feeling good about my bowling. Firstly, I got a shoulder dislocation, and I came with that and did my basic, and I'm going well, he added. Malinga said he has not altered much technically even when conditions begin to assist reverse swing, insisting he prefers relying on his natural action and pace. No changes I did because it's coming from my action and the pace. I'll try to execute that when the ball is reversing, he said. The SRH pacer further revealed that the bowling group has focused on sticking to simple plans worked out alongside captain Pat Cummins and bowling coach Varun Aaron.
