SRH vs GT Dream11 Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have an opportunity to make significant strides towards the top-two positions when they face Gujarat Titans (GT) at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday evening. Currently positioned fourth, SRH can climb to second place by securing two points in this game. Meanwhile, GT has been eliminated from the playoffs following a complete washout against KKR on Monday, May 13th.
Before facing Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad found themselves with more questions to answer, having secured just one win in four matches. Notably, their renowned batting lineup struggled in three of those four matches.
However, this team is unlike any other; when they are in form, they are unstoppable. Players like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen possess the ability to single-handedly dismantle any bowling unit in the world. If even one of these three batters finds their rhythm on any given day, it spells trouble for the opponents.
This scenario unfolded in the last match. Lucknow Super Giants struggled to reach 165/4 in their 20 overs. Then came out Head and Sharma and bulldozed their way to chase down the target in just 9.4 overs. This victory significantly boosted SRH’s net run-rate. The 2016 IPL winners currently hold the fourth spot on the table, trailing CSK only on net run-rate but with a game in hand.
Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, will be playing for their pride as they are out of playoffs. They can still finish the campaign with back-to-back wins after winning the last game by 35 runs against the Chennai Super Kings.

SRH vs GT Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium favors batsmen through and through. There’s no other way to put it. The last game was a perfect example what can happen when the batters are too cautious. LSG batters played as if someone put guns to their skulls. The openers were too passive, including captain KL Rahul. But the way Head and Sharma batted shows how good the pitch was actually for batting. This should be one of those games where the team batting first has to score more than 180 runs to stand any chance of winning this match.
Weather Report: Since summers are peaking the temperature is soaring with each passing day. This is the game in Hyderabad and we all know how hot it is out there in this city during this part of year. The maximum temperature could be between 35°C-36°C, while the humidity level is likely to range between 50%-55%. There’s 20% chance of rain as well.

SRH vs GT Dream11 Prediction Injury and availability News
Sunrisers Hyderabad
- Vijayakanth Viyaskanth was given a chance in the last match and although he didn’t take any wicket, the 22-year-old impressed in his four-over spell where he gave away just 27 runs. Expect Vijayskanth in SRH’s Playing XI.
- In fact, SRH are likely to go with the same combination they used during the 10-wicket annihilation of Lucknow Super Giants.
- Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head will of course open the innings for SRH, with either Nitish Kumar Reddy or Heinrich Klaasen batting at no-3 or no-4 respectively.
- SRH named only three overseas players in their Playing XI against LSG. That might be the case in this game as well as Sanvir Singh is likely to be given another chance.
- T Natarajan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will certainly start this match.
- If SRH bowl in the 2nd innings, Jaydev Unadkat might play as an Impact Player.
Gujarat Titans
- No injury issues for GT ahead of their last match of IPL 2024 season.
- But Kartik Tyagi might get the chop from GT’s Playing XI. He was taken for cleaners by CSK batters, as he gave away 51 runs in four overs.
- Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore might be the player replacing Kartik in Gujarat Titans’ Playing XI against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
- The rest of the squad should be more or less the same.
- Noor Ahmed, Rashid Khan, David Miller and Matthew Wade should be the four overseas players in Gujarat’s team.
TOP Picks For SRH vs GT Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Travis Head: Travis Head continues to defy logic every time he comes to bat. He is in the form of his life, while bowlers are rethinking why they chose to be bowlers when facing the Australian. The 29-year-old has scored 533 runs in IPL 2024 while maintaining a strike rate of over 200. That’s simply out of this world. He is a player worth having as captain in SRH vs GT Dream11 Today IPL teams.
Travis Head in last IPL 2024 match: Runs: 89 off 30 balls | 4s: 08 | 6s: 08. - Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill has certainly been inconsistent in IPL 2024. A lot was expected from the 24-year-old after the season he had in IPL 2023 when he blasted 890 runs en route to winning the Orange Cap. This season, however, he is way short of his own high standards. But he was back in his ruthless form when he smashed a brilliant century against the Chennai Super Kings. That’s something we can expect from him in this game. Gill should be in your SRH vs GT Dream11 Fantasy Cricket teams.
Shubman Gill in last IPL 2024 match: Runs: 104 off 55 balls | 4s: 09 | 6s: 06. - Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek Sharma is the next big thing in white-ball cricket coming out of India. He is ready to take on the world. In fact, he has already, to some extent. The way he is hitting and striking the ball, and scoring runs for fun against the best bowlers, he is primed to get into the Indian Team sooner rather than later. The 24-year-old has scored 401 runs in IPL 2024.
Abhishek Sharma in last IPL 2024 match: Runs: 75 off 28 balls | 4s: 08 | 6s: 06. - Sai Sudarshan: With 527 runs, Sai Sudarshan is leading the batting charts for Gujarat Titans this season.

Vice-Captain Options:
- Heinrich Klaasen: Heinrich Klaasen needs no introduction at all. He has been at the top of his game for more than 2 years now. He bats in only one way, and that is to hit the ball out of the park. The South African wicketkeeper-batsman has scored 33 runs in IPL 2024, including 31 sixes. His six count definitely tells everyone about the way he likes to bat.

If you ready to take risks, then pick Bhuvi as either captain or vice-captain in one or two grand league teams.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar in IPL 2024: Wickets: 11 | Best: 3/41.
Players worth considering
