Rahul Tripathi: The ex-KKR batter was unbeaten with his knock of 39 runs off 15 balls and it proved to be a match-winning contribution against Chennai.
Nicholas Pooran: The West Indies cricketer hasn’t been at his best this season and will be hoping to find a good score against Gujarat.
Aiden Markram: Markram’s flair and firepower will be crucial against Gujarat. He didn’t get to bat against Chennai as the match was wrapped up by the other batters higher up in the order.
Washington Sundar: The all-rounder took two wickets against CSK but has been expensive with the ball this season. He will be hoping to improve on that aspect and contribute with the bat.
Abdul Samad: One of the players to be retained, Abdul Samad hasn’t been in good form this season. The all-rounder was dropped in the previous game and was replaced by Shashank Singh. If not benched, he will be aiming to use his opportunity to cement a place in the squad.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: SRH’s pace spearhead took one wicket against CSK but proved to be crucial. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be eyeing to become more economical for his side and leak lesser runs.
Marco Jansen: Marco Jansen featured in the previous game and took a wicket. He will be important for SRH in the coming games and could prove handy with the bat too.Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com
