Pitch Conditions
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium‘s pitch can be hard and level, which helps the spinners. It is unlikely that the surface will offer much assistance to the seafarers. The pitch should have a little bounce to it so that the batters may play their shots with comfort, especially early in the game when they are facing a hard new ball. A batting pitch would be this one.
SRH vs GT Head-to-Head Records
In 4 IPL matches, Gujarat and Hyderabad have faced off against one another. Gujarat has won three of these four matches, whereas Hyderabad has only won once.
