On Thursday, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans will cross swords against each other in match 66 of the ongoing Indian Premier League competition. 

Led by Pat Cummins, the Sunriers have been impressive in the competition, occupying the fourth position with seven victories in twelve matches. In their last game, they swatted aside Lucknow Super Giants by ten wickets. 

On the contrary, the Titans have been abysmal in the tournament, reeling at eighth with five wins in thirteen matches. 

So, having already been eliminated from the IPL 2024, the Titans will play for their pride and would like to finish the campaign on a high note. 

Meanwhile, there are several on-field contests that might decide the game's outcome. So, as they gear up for a fascinating clash, let's analyse and find out three such player battles to watch out for. 


Abhishek Sharma vs Rashid Khan

Abhishek Sharma has emerged as SRH's go-to man to capitalise on the powerplay alongside his opening partner Travis Head. 

The hard-hitting batter has an exceptional record against GT's prominent spinner Rashid Khan and could be a serious threat to him in this game.

However, the stylish Punjab batter could be troubled by veteran Indian seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has got him thrice in 56 deliveries.
