🏏IPL 2024: Match 66 - SRH vs GT at Hyderabad,7:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 4

Gujarat Titans have had a forgettable campaign. After winning the tournament in their first year and finishing runner's up last season, they have not lived up to their potential. Shubman Gill as captain has been under pressure and that has shown in his batting as he's not been able to replicate the performances he put up last year. There's over-reliance on Gill and Sai Sudharsan to deliver each time with the bat as the rest have struggled for consistency. Rashid Khan, coming back from an injury, has looked a shadow of his old self and that has played a big part to where the Titans are on the points table. There has been a lot of changing and chopping as they couldn't find the right combination. But they did beat CSK a couple of games back while their previous game against KKR was abandoned, today gives them a chance to finish their season on a high.

A thunderstorm started around 3:45 and went on till about 5 before reducing to a drizzle. It has now stopped raining and the groundsmen are busy draining the water from the covers. Supersoppers in action too." - this was an update just over 30 minutes ago from Gokul Gopal who's at the ground. He followed it up with - "Plenty of work to be done, though. Lots of puddles near the boundary ropes, with those areas left uncovered." And the latest news being "The tyres placed on the covers are coming off now."

SRH vs GT IPL 2024: Players to watch out

SRH: All eyes will be on pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has recently found his mojo, taking 11 wickets in this edition of the IPL. Kumar has been a bane to Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill’s existence, dismissing him thrice while yielding just 57 runs. With the form he is in and Gill’s inconsistent run in the IPL, you will be well placed to not bet against the seamer.

GT: Skipper Gill roared back into form in the match against the Chennai Super Kings, scoring a blistering century and bringing up a 210-run first wicket partnership with Sai Sudharsan. He would have liked to flex his muscles against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders but weather had played spoilsport so tonight, he’ll hope to sign off the IPL with another strong performance with the bat against SRH.

We are towards the fag end of the league stage of IPL 2024. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans in Hyderabad. A win for SRH will likely ensure a playoffs spot for them. GT are already out. But the early sightings of the venue is not promising. The whole ground was under covers, with only the areas near the boundary cushions left open. Those areas are quite soggy, and there is a slight drizzle as I type this. Hopefully not much of a delay. Let's see how this goes. I am S Sudarshanan and will have Himanshu Agarwal's company throughout the day. Stay tuned!

"How about the odds of playoffs scenario in case of washout.?" A washout also helps SRH, because they get to 15.

The covers are coming off now. And there are loud cheers each time a cover is being removed" - pings Gokul.

So difficult to select a bowler today.

SRH are back at home, where they have won four of the five games so far. Rashid Khan also returns to his former home. More to get you up to speed in Vishal Dikshit's preview. One of SRH's key players has been Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mitchell McClenaghan thinks he has upped his game.

Dillon : "It's been quite a while between games for SRH, so hopefully they are refreshed and ready to play today"

Azfer: "Glenn Phillips must come in today for Jansen, gives a good spinning option, wk option, insane fielder, and great batsman."

Oh no! "It's not raining right now but they are bringing the covers back on. Slight dark clouds above the ground, which could be the reason." - updates Gokul. The toss will definitely be delayed now.
