The Sunrisers Hyderabad take on the Gujarat Titans in Match 56 of the 2026 Indian Premier League on Tuesday, May 12, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

After a slow start to the season, the Sunrisers now find themselves as one of the most dominant teams in this edition. Starting their season with one win in four games, they have won six of their last seven games and sit comfortably with 14 points in 11 games. They will be looking to get the two points in Ahmedabad, which would further solidify their place as a contender for the top-two spots before the playoffs.

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have been one of the most prolific opening pair in the IPL since coming together in 2024. The pair has scored a whopping 627 runs in 11 games, with two century stands. Head has finally found form with two half-centuries in the Sunrisers’ last three games, while Abhishek has been one of SRH’s most prolific batters with 475 runs at a whopping strike rate of 210.17 across the season.

Ishan Kishan has played vital knocks at number 3, coming in to build on the momentum set by the openers. He is the third Sunrisers batter to score over 400 runs in IPL 2026, with 409 runs at a strike rate of 186.75.
