The IPL caravan is now into its 19th game, and it is Sunrisers Hyderabad going up against Gujarat Titans. The Orange Army is back at home and they would be hoping to get back on track after losing three consecutive matches. Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, have won two and lost one, and would be hoping to continue the momentum they have gained by two consecutive wins.

Both the teams have plenty of superstars in their line-up, but two of the most important players, are Travis Head and Shubman Gill. Both of them are crucial for their side's fortunes, and let's see who can fetch more points in your fantasy teams in this game.

Looking at the fantasy points, it is clear that Travis Head has been in better form, and his knack of hitting boundaries make him a beneficial pick. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, has also played with good strike-rate this season, but that has affected his big scores, and thus going by only Dream11 points, Travis Head is a better choice.

Impact Of Pitch And Opposition On The Performances Of Players

The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is pretty good for batting, and top order batters generally score lot of runs here. Travis Head, especially loves batting at this venue, and has 385 runs in nine innings at an average of 48.13 and strike-rate of 185.99. His only fifty this season also has come at this venue, and it makes him a player to watch out against GT.

Travis Head would need to be vary of Siraj who can move the new ball, but once he gets over that phase he can put GT bowlers under pressure. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, has just three runs in two innings at this ground in IPL, while he has 398 runs in 13 innings against SRH. Shubman Gill can face trouble against Shami with the new ball, while left-arm spin of Abhishek Sharma can also trouble him in the powerplay.

Conclusion

Thus, going by the form, and record of Travis Head if Hyderabad along with the favourable match-ups, the SRH opener is a better choice than Shubman Gill for this game. The GT captain is also due for a big score though, and keeping both of them in your small league teams can help. For the captaincy choice though, Travis Head should be preferred over Shubman Gill.
