Janat Out, Coetzee In for GT; SRH Unchanged:
Gerald Coetzee replaced Karim Janat, who had a tough debut. Coetzee will play his first match of the season, while SRH made no changes.
Pat Cummins (SRH)
We will have a bowl. You never really know what you will get. Sometimes, it is better to bat at night. We won our first game at CSK’s venue. Hopefully, the trend continues here as well. If we win all our games, we still have a chance. We haven’t quite clicked as a team. Last couple of games, we have done better. Same team.
Shubman Gill (GT)

We would have bowled first as well. Looks like a good wicket. Last game here, we played against Mumbai, we batted first as well. The season has been pretty good for us. Nothing changes for us. This is the time when good teams peak. We are not really looking at the NRR. We are looking to see each game as it is. We have one change. Gerald Coetzee comes in for Karim Janat.
