But the toss shouldn’t dictate things here as this is one of the most balanced pitch in India, meaning, there should be an even contest between bat and ball. Still, SRH will look to post a big total here and set the hosts Gujarat Titans under pressure.

Since SRH are playing first in this game, Gujarat Titans have the option to go with an extra bowler in the first inning. That means, Sai Sudarshan is likely to be used as an Impact Player against SRH. In that case, Mohit Sharma is likely to give way for Sudarshan in GT Playing 11. In the game against Chennai Super Kings, Sai Sudarshan was used in the similar role, i.e. Impact Player. The 22-year-old scored 37 runs against the reigning champions and was the team’s highest run-getter.
