Openers

Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan

David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan have very settled batting line up with being in supreme form for Gujarat Lions since the last edition of the tournament. Skipper David Warner took special delight in the fact that there was a strong performance from batsmen 3,4,5 and 6 – something that was often a grey area in their title-winning season last year.

 

Gujarat Lions: Brendon McCullum and Jason Roy

Jason Roy new captain of Gujarat Lions team and Brendon McCullum is robust batsman from New-Zealand. The rakish opener with the company of an equally explosive Brendon McCullum, can turn the heat on the opposition in the first few overs.
