The same thing was observed today. GT opted for 6 bowlers who bowled the team’s quota of 20 overs. Mohammed Shami, Yash Dayal, Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan finished their quota of 4 overs each. Noor Ahmad bowled 2.5 overs while the remaining 1.1 overs was finished by Rahul Tewatia.

Ideally, Hardik Pandya accompanies Shami with the new ball while Mohit Sharma bowls during the middle and the death overs. Today Alzarri Josephl was benched and Yash Dawal came to the field as a impact substitute where he partnered Shami at the beginning of the spell.
As far as bowling is concerned it was a pacers show. Mohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami bagged 4 wickets a piece while Yash Dayal scalped the other wicket. For the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bhuvneshwar Kumar rocked GT with his five wicket haul.
Shubman Gill slammed his maiden IPL century, the first time for any GT player as the defending champions went on to register a 34-run victory over their opponents. And with this win, GT have now officially qualified for the knockouts. On the other hand, it is curtains for SRH who still have 2 more games left to play.
