As the Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad prepare to face off in the 51st match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, all eyes will be on three key bowlers who could make the difference in this high-stakes encounter.

1. Prasidh Krishna (GT)

A tall right-arm fast bowler, Prasidh Krishna is known for his raw pace and ability to extract extra bounce. Prasidh was snapped up by Gujarat Titans for INR 9.50 Crore ahead of TATA IPL 2025.

  • IPL 2025 Form: He has picked-up 17 wickets in 9 matches with an economy of 7.80 so far in this season.
  • Ground Advantage: His ability to hit the deck and bowl cutters will be very much effective at Narendra Modi Stadium.
  • New Ball Threat: As GT's leading wicket-taker, his precision with the new ball could trouble SRH's top order batters.

2. Harshal Patel (SRH)

Harshal Patel, a right-arm medium pacer, made his name in the IPL with his subtle variations and deadly slower dipping yorkers. He won the Purple Cap in IPL 2021, with 32 wickets, and repeated the feat in 2024 for PBKS with 24 wickets.

  • IPL 2025 Form: He has bagged 13 wickets in 8 matches with an economy rate of 9.04 so far in this tournament.
  • Head-to-Head Impact: He has been extremely effective against GT, grabbing 5 wickets with best figure of 3/15.
  • Ground Advantage: His ability to apply variations makes him particularly dangerous at Narendra Modi Stadium.

3. R Sai Kishore

A slow left-arm orthodox spinner from Tamil Nadu, R. Sai Kishore is known for his control, height advantage, and economical bowling. This season he seems to be in fine form and could make the difference in this high-stakes encounter.

  • IPL 2025 Form: He has bagged 12 wickets in 9 matches with an economy rate of 8.54 so far in this tournament.
  • Tactical Importance and Statistical Edge: He has claimed 2 wickets against SRH in recent match, including key batsmen like Heinrich Klassen and NK Reddy.
