Jos Buttler vs Kuldeep Yadav
Buttler has been in his usual monstrous form and has been batting like a beast for them, scoring big and doing so at an attacking pace. He is a key batter in the Gujarat lineup. Kuldeep Yadav has been having a decent season so far, where he has been bowling well but has struggled to get wickets sometimes as well.
In the shortest format of the game, Buttler has faced 61 deliveries from Kuldeep, where he has smashed him for 86 runs with the help of eight boundaries and three sixes. He has lost his wicket twice to him, keeping the balance between the two quite stable.
Lokesh Rahul vs Mohammed Siraj
Since joining the Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul has been a reliable player for the squad, and he is having an amazing season. Additionally, Mohammad Siraj has been playing quite well and is likely enjoying his greatest IPL season to date.
Rahul clearly had the upper hand over Siraj. In the 59 balls he has faced from him, he has smashed him for 108 runs, including nine sixes and eight boundaries. Siraj has only managed to take his wicket once during this time.
Sai Sudharsan vs Axar Patel
The Gujarat Titans' most reliable batsman both this season and last has been Sai Sudharsan. He has been an incredible addition to the club. Although he has been an excellent captain, Axar Patel would like to get better with the ball.
Based on their sparse interactions, Sai has been dominating Axar. He has scored 31 runs off of him despite just facing 15 deliveries from him. This time, Axar would be eager to alter those statistics.
