GT vs SRH Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Shubman Gill:

The Gujarat opener is relishing an excellent season with the bat and is in contention for the IPL 2023 Orange Cap. The swashbuckling right-hander has 475 runs in 12 appearances at a solid average of 43.18. Gill will look to come all guns blazing against Hyderabad and aim to carve out a big knock.

Probable best bowler

Rashid Khan:

Arguably one of the most lethal bowlers in the league is Titans’ Rashid Khan. The Afghan sensation holds the potential to spin a web around the rival team and outfox them with his impressive spells. He will look to play a vital role in denting SRH’s batting line-up in the forthcoming clash.
