Current Form: Sunrisers Hyderabad
They are arguably the best form team in the tournament. SRH started their campaign rather tamely with losses in both their games. It felt as if they were unable to shake the lows of 2021. But what a turnaround it has been for SRH. The Hyderabad side has gone on to win 5 games on the trot. Their bowling has been sensational. SRH’s pacers have hunted in the pack. Their versatility has clearly stood out. From the new ball exploits of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen to the pace of Umran Malik. There is relentless pressure right throughout.
Natarajan and the chase factor:
T. Natarajan played a key role in SRH’s playoff run in 2020. He is back to his absolute best this season. Natarajan ranks second among the wicket-takers list.

SRH has won all their games chasing. It has helped the team stick to a winning template. SRH will be tested if they will be asked to bat first.
Current Form: Gujarat Titans
The Hardik Pandya-led side has been fantastic. Gujarat has 6 player-of-the-match award winners in their 6 wins. All the players have put in telling performances so far. Their bowling surely has been their strength. But their batting despite showing signs of weakness has pulled its weight. Their captain, Hardik Pandya, has led from the front. He has three successive fifty plus scores.
The other stars of the campaign:
David Miller put in a show against defending champions, CSK. Rahul Tewatia continues to be Rahul Tewatia. Gujarat look vulnerable every time they step into the field. But they put in spirited performance game after game. They will be up against a similarly rigid outfit, SRH.
