Hardik Pandya has single-handedly carried the batting unit with good support from David Miller in the last two games. They have under utilized Abhinav Manohar as he has been batting very low. The other batters have struggled till now.
Their bowling attack is the main reason for their excellent performance. Mohammad Shami, Rashid Khan, and Lockie Ferguson have been brilliant while Alzarri Joseph and Yash Dayal have been in good form as well. Hardik Pandya didn’t bowl in the last game but he too has been in great form with the ball. Gujarat needs a little improvement in their batting but other than that they are in great form at the moment.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, are on a roll and have won 5 games consecutively. Their bowling unit and an excellent performance from the top order is the reason for their exceptional performance. T Natarajan, Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Marco Jansen have been outstanding with their bowling. They bundled out RCB for just 68 in the last game. Bhuvneshwar and Jansen have been brilliant in the power play, Natarajan too has done well in that phase. Umran Malik with his pace has been excellent in the middle-overs while Natarajan and Bhuvneshwar are handling the death overs with ease,
Their batters have done a good job as Abhishek Sharma has looked good and scored runs in the last two games. Kane Williamson has looked to hold one end while Rahul Tripathi has played attacking cricket at number 3. Aiden Markram has been brilliant at 4 while Nicholas Pooran has been consistent as well. Sunrisers are performing really well as a unit and will look to continue their winning streak.
