GT aren't expected to make any changes to their playing XI, with Wriddhiman Saha opening with Shubman Gill. Gill is currently GT's highest run-scorer and fourth in the Orange Cap race, with 475 runs in 12 matches. He will be looking to climb up the pack ahead of the playoffs.

Captain Hardik Pandya will be slotted in at no. 3, followed by Vijay Shankar in no. 4 and David MIller in no. 5. Miller's finishing skills in the middle order will come in handy. Abhinav Manohar will bat at. 6, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid will fill in at no. 7 and no. 8. The tailenders will be Noor Ahmad, Alzarri Joseph and Mohammed Shami.

GT will rely on Mohit Shara, Sai Sudharsan and Jayant Yadav for the Impact Player role.

GT's predicted XI vs SRH:

Openers: Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Shubman Gill

Top and Middle Order: Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar

All-rounders: Hardik Pandya (c), Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia

Bowlers: Mohammed Shami, Noor Ahmad, Alzarri Joseph

Impact Player: Mohit Sharma, Sai Sudharsan and Jayant Yadav are GT's Impact Player options.
