'Shameful'
One cheerleader arm is fractured but BCCI and IPL authorities want her to cheer for SRH.

Sunrisers Hyderabad eventually faced the defeat as Gujarat Titans won the game by 34 runs. With this win, Gujarat Titans became the first side to qualify for the IPL 2023 playoffs. The defeat for Sunrisers Hyderabad meant that they are now out of final four race. Apart from SRH, Delhi Capitals are out of IPL 2023 playoffs race as well.
Three spots remain now for IPL 2023 playoffs with seven teams in contention. Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants are likely to fill those spots. However, given the tough completion this year, any surprise cannot be ruled out.
