Gujarat Titans
Sai Sudharsan: The young opener has been a revelation, scoring 456 runs at an average of 50.67 with five fifties. His ability to rotate strike and accelerate in the middle overs has been pivotal.
Jos Buttler: The Englishman brings explosive intent and experience. With a stunning average of 81.20 and a strike rate of 168.46, he can single-handedly take games away.
Prasidh Krishna: Krishna with 17 wickets, has been Gujarat’s go-to pacer. His ability to strike early and bowl well at the death makes him a real threat.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Heinrich Klaasen: The wicketkeeper batter remains the anchor of SRH’s batting with 288 runs and a strike rate of 156.52. His aggressive play against spinners will be key in the middle overs.
Travis Head: Despite a few lean outings, is always a danger with his aggressive intent.
Harshal Patel: With 13 wickets including two 4-wicket hauls, Patel’s spell will be crucial against Gujarat’s aggressive top order. His slower balls and yorkers in the death overs could swing the match.
