Sunrisers started their campaign with two losses but bounced back with three consecutive wins against Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders and looking for more looking at their improving trend of performances .
Punjab Kings had registered a morale-boosting 12-run win over Mumbai Indians in their last outing and Sunrisers would surely know that the Mayank Agarwal-led side, who are third, will be a tough team to beat. .
Meanwhile, former England cricketer and commentator Graeme Swann had praised Gabbar the biggest by calling him Mr IPL. He is very happy with the way he has played so far.
“Obviously he is in a form of his life. I mean he is playing the pink suit gear dog in Tata IPL. I mean he is Mr. IPL (to me) and I have to cherish every minute of him. It’s nice to see him batting like this (when he is in his elements).
“As soon as Shikhar Dhawan plays a shot at extra cover to hit a six at the start of his innings, you know he is in for a good time. And these are some old shots of Shikhar Dhawan. He’s brilliant down the field, brilliant on the square, that little ramp at the top, a jerk on the leg side. that is wonderful.”
A resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad would like to extend their three match winning stakes but will end their job against Punjab Kings.
