As the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans prepare to face off at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, all eyes will be on three key bowlers who could make the difference in this high-stakes encounter. Based on historical head-to-head performances, venue statistics, and current form, these three bowlers can emerge as the prime candidates to dominate with the ball.

1. Pat Cummins (SRH)

Sunrisers Hyderabad' right-arm pacer, Pat Cummins has already demonstrated his effectiveness against Gujarat Titans' batsmen. His ability to extract movement early and nail his yorkers at the death makes him a constant threat throughout the innings. 

  • Home Ground Advantage: At Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, has claimed 8 wickets in 7 matches with excellent knowledge of the local conditions and pitch behavior.
  • Versatile Weapon: As SRH's captain and lead pace bowler, Cummins brings international quality and experience to the attack. His ability to take wickets with the new ball and at the death makes him a constant threat throughout the innings.
  • Effectiveness Against GT: Has been very effective against GT's batting lineup, particularly against Sai Sudharsan whom he has dismissed once in 9 balls while conceding just 9 runs (economy of 6.00).

2. Rashid Khan (GT)

Rashid Khan has been GT's premier bowler against SRH, particularly effective against their middle order. He has not found his bite yet. The batters are picking him with ease and he now has possibly the biggest competition in the tournament with a side that takes bowlers down for fun.

  • Effectiveness Against SRH: He has claimed Heinrich Klaasen's wicket once in 18 balls, showing his ability to dismiss even SRH's best batsmen. With his exceptional control and variety of deliveries, Rashid remains a constant wicket-taking threat.
  • Experience in T20 Format: Rashid's experience and skill in T20 cricket make him likely to adapt and find success in the upcoming game.
  • Consistency In IPL: Before IPL 2025 season, his IPL record is outstanding, with 149 wickets at an economy under 7.

3. Mohammed Siraj (GT)

Mohammed Siraj brings pace, swing, and seam movement to Gujarat Titans' bowling attack. As one of GT's premier fast bowlers, he's likely to be among the top wicket-takers in the upcoming contest.

  • Current Form: He has been excellent in the last game and bagged 3 wickets against RCB and already claimed 5 wickets in 3 games in IPL 2025.
  • New Ball Impact: Siraj's ability to take early wickets with the new ball will be crucial against SRH's aggressive top order of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.
  • Pitch Advantage: The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad often provides some assistance to pace bowlers in the initial overs, which Siraj can exploit with his ability to move the ball both ways.

These three bowlers combine skill, experience, and favorable match-ups that position them to potentially claim the most wickets in the upcoming SRH vs GT encounter.
