Players Stats

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

Abhishek Sharma produced his finest knock in his last match vs CSK. His 50-ball 75 included five fours and three sixes. Can he back it up today against GT’s strong attack?


Kane Williamson’s form is a worry for SRH. The captain struggled against CSK, making a 40-ball 32, and is striking at 79.36 in 63 deliveries in IPL 2022.

He has the class to bounce back, but he doesn’t have the best of records against GT’s key bowlers. Shami has dismissed Williamson three times in the IPL (avg. 9.67). Also, he has been dismissed once against Rashid (avg. 11) and once against Ferguson (avg. 11).


 Rahul Tripathi . has a solid record vs Rashid Khan (31 runs off 22 balls in the IPL, SR 140.9, one dismissal). He smashed 39* off 15 balls two days ago vs CSK.



Washington Sundar expected to play a key role against GT’s top order that will contain at least one left-hander in the top three. However, Sundar was also excellent against the right-handers against CSK, dismissing both Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu. He has taken four wickets in his last two matches, both at DY Patil.



T Natarajan has taken two wickets in each match so far in IPL 2022. Importantly, he has got the ball swinging in the powerplay. Shubman Gill has a fine record vs left-arm seam in the IPL (301 runs, avg. 50.2, SR 130.3), so can Natarajan overcome this if he gets the chance?


Gujarat Titans:


Shubman Gill is producing the kind of performances his talent is worthy of. He has scored the third-most runs in IPL 2022 (180) at a superb average of 60 and strike rate of 166.66.


Sai Sudharsan made a promising start to life in the IPL (35 off 30 balls) as he combined with Gill for a 101-run partnership against Punjab Kings. He struck four fours and one six. Limiting the dot balls will be key today, especially if he comes up against Sundar.


Hardik Pandya has made three starts in IPL 2022 (33, 31 and 27) at an overall strike rate of 124.65. It feels like the GT captain is not far away from his best form. He is one away from 100 sixes in the IPL.


Mohammed Shami would relish the opportunity to bowl at Kane Williamson and Rahul Tripathi. Shami, who already has six wickets in three games this season, has dismissed Tripathi twice in seven matches at an average of just 10 and batting strike rate of 91. He has an even better T20 record vs Williamson, with four wickets in 39 deliveries (51 runs conceded).


Rashid Khan comes up against his former franchise. He is coming off 3/22 vs Punjab, part of five wickets this season at an economy rate of just 6.58.

Expect Rashid to be used against SRH’s middle order. He has a particularly good record against Nicholas Pooran, with two dismissals in 37 deliveries in T20s for just the 21 runs.


Lockie Ferguson has largely been efficient in the death period since the start of IPL 2021. In this timeframe, Ferguson has taken five wickets in 72 deliveries between overs 16-20 at an economy rate of around just 8.6
