GT’s New Brand Of Cricket
At the helm of Gujarat’s explosive style Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler, who lead the charge with merciless aggression. Their top order has been incinerating the opposition, so much so that the middle order hasn’t even gotten their pads on yet. With two wins on the trot and a tight 244-run chase under their belt, GT is gliding along smoothly.
SRH’s Missing Fireworks
Conversely, SRH supporters are left questioning – where did their powerplay dominance go? Those days when Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head used to light up the initial few overs are a distant memory now. Their beginnings are now more “buffering” than “blazing.” Ishan Kishan’s century marked the beginning of his IPL journey on a high note, but since then, it has been a flicker rather than fireworks.

The middle order, comprising Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, and the young Aniket Verma, has been under mounting pressure. Though they’ve had five stands of over 50, the average of just 21.68 is a cause for concern.
Bowlers Yet To Find Mojo
Concerning the bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins are yet to find a bearing. Their economy rates of 10 and 12.30 respectively, and their contribution of three wickets each are leaving the team vulnerable. In spite of experimenting with Adam Zampa and Wiaan Mulder, SRH’s bowling attack has been unable to deliver what they are supposed to do.
In brief, SRH’s erstwhile potent mix is struggling, and it’s evident they need to improve both with the bat and the ball if they’re to reverse their fortunes.
Pitch and Weather Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium boasts a lively pitch, favoring the batters, although pacers might find some assistance as the surface wears down. The temperature will begin at 34°C and gradually cool to a comfortable 28°C, with humidity levels ranging from 24-41%. No rain is expected throughout the match.
