IPL 2022, GT vs SRH Stats And Records Preview: Wankhede Stadium T20 Numbers, Hardik, Gill eye big records

Mumbai, April 25: Gujarat Titans (GT) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an IPL 2022 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday (April 26).

Their previous encounter in the IPL 2022 ended in a rather comfortable win for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who won the match by 8 wickets. It is also the lone defeat GT have suffered this season so far in the 7 matches they played.

It tells volumes about the Hardik Pandya-led side but in SRH they have a formidable opponent. After a tepid beginning to the IPL 2022, the Hyderabad side has found their mojo and stitched together a run of 5 wins in a row.

But the matured presence of Hardik is a boon for the Titans as he shoulders a lot of responsibility while batting at No 4 and he has also started chipping in with few overs, which augurs well for Team India too in the year of T20 World Cup 2022.

Hardik was happy that he was able to contribute to GT in various capacity.

"Captaincy obviously helps. I'm always a cricketer who loves to take responsibility. I have a bit of understanding of the game having batted for so many years," said the all-rounder.

"You're successful because you have an understanding of the game. Having played so many matches, I'm able to use my experience. So far, so good," Hardik added.

So, on Wednesday (April 27), Hardik will eye a special milestone but some other players too are close to achieving some personal records during the GT vs SRH match. Here is a list.
