SRH vs MI Important Player Stats (Top Five)

SRH vs MI Toss Factor

The wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will provide even ground for both batters and bowlers. It is expected to be a sporty wicket on which players of all trades can have some say. 

Scenario: If Sunrisers Hyderabad win the toss

• The Sunrisers Hyderabad might look to bat first in this game. They lost their first game while chasing a target against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Thus, they might try to avoid it in this game.
• Irrespective of whether they set a target or chase it down, batters like Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, and Rahul Tripathi will be essential to the team's cause. 
• If SRH gets to the field first in the bowling department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natrajan could be crucial in helping them win. 

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the toss

• While SRH might bat first, Mumbai Indians will prefer chasing the target on winning the toss. They have been an excellent chasing side since the league's inception and will look to back that in this game. 
• Given his touch in the first game, Rohit Sharma will be crucial for MI's batting. However, if they are chasing a target, players like Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Tim David could also be important. 
• Jasprit Bumrah looked great in the first game. He will be a key for the team if they restrict the opposition to a chaseable target. Greal Coetzee also looked good with the ball in the first match. He could also be crucial for MI in the game.

SRH vs MI Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Sunrisers Hyderabad win the match

Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)

The South African middle-order batter got his IPL 2024 campaign to a blazing start. Although Klaasen failed to take SRH across the line against KKR, his batting will significantly encourage the team management. In his current form, Klaasen becomes a top captain or vice-captain choice, irrespective of the toss and the surface they are playing on. 

Aiden Markram (SRH)

The South African batter looked out of touch in the first game. But Aiden Markram is a solid batter, and he could be a good choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the match

Rohit Sharma (MI)

Rohit Sharma looked in good rhythm in the first match against the Gujarat Titans. The Indian skipper could be the deciding factor in the game, making him an essential C/Vc choice.

Jasprit Bumrah (MI)

The Indian pace spearhead showed how efficient he can be in the previous game. Jasprit Bumrah's wicket-taking form makes him a very important pick for the game. 

SRH vs MI High Risk, High Reward 

Pat Cummins could influence the game with both the bat and the ball on his day [iplt20.com]

Pat Cummins (SRH)

The Australian skipper has proven his acumen as a leader in the international circuit in the last 12 months. However, Pat Cummins has yet to prove himself an efficient bowler in the T20 format. On his day, Cummins can not only be lethal with the ball but also very effective with the bat. So, though a risky choice, Cummins could be rewarding enough.

Tim David (MI)

Tim David is a power hitter lower down the order. The fact that he comes to bat in a bit late makes him a risky pick. However, David can be a game changer in his day, making him a risk-worthy choice.

SRH vs MI Stay Aways

Abdul Samad (SRH)

Abdul Samad could be a key cog for Hyderabad in the middle order. But he has yet to reach his potential, and his current form makes him a player you can avoid in this game. 

Shams Mulani (MI)

The Indian spinner has shown a lot of potential in the domestic circuit. However, in the chances that he has got in IPL, Mulani has not left too much impact. So, he could be a player who would be avoided in this game.
