AHMED­ABAD – Ja­son Hold­er’s fairy­tale start with the ball for the Gu­jarat Ti­tans con­tin­ued as his three-wick­et haul saw them pum­mel Sun­ris­ers Hy­der­abad (SRH) by 82 runs and rise to the sum­mit of the In­di­an Pre­mier League on Tues­day.

Sent in on a dif­fi­cult pitch at the Naren­dra Mo­di Sta­di­um, the Ti­tans re­cov­ered from a hor­ri­ble start to post 168 for five in their 20 overs.

The re­cov­ery was led by open­er Sai Sud­harsan, who scored 61 from 44 balls with five fours and two six­es, and Wash­ing­ton Sun­dar’s even half cen­tu­ry off 33 balls.
