GT is heading the points table after their win over KKR. They won the match easily by 7 wickets

In form batsman Shubman Gill is providing runs to the team and he is the top run getter for his team. He is presently in 6th position in the orange cap list. Vijay Shankar whooping runs against KKR gave GT an easy win over KKR. He scored 51 runs in just 24 balls. Miller is the killer for the opposition team. His rocket fire in the death overs helps the team to post a huge score. Pandya is slowly getting his form back. Saha is still searching for consistency. His string of low scores is continuous. Abhinav Manohar power hitting at the end also helps the team. 

Noor Ahmad’s introduction to the team makes their spin department more strong. He is providing wickets along with economical spells. His team mate from the same nation, Rashid Khan is taking wickets almost in every match. He is 4th in the list of purple cap. Against KKR he has gone wicketless and highly expensive which is rarely to see. Mohd Shami also helped the team through his pace attack.

Despite their loss against SRH there were some positives for the team. They were defeated by 9 runs

David Warner who is the highest scorer for the team in this season was out on a golden duck against SRH. But his performance is mostly constant. Phil Salt finally smashes his first fifty. He made 59 runs against SRH. Mitchell Marsh was also seen in action. He made 63 runs. After his comeback it was his great innings. Axar Patel always contributes with the bat but he came down the order that’s why he could not contribute that much. He must be given a little higher up the order. Sarfaraz Khan could not utilize the opportunities well. 

MItchell Marsh not only contributed with the bat but also with his bowling also. He took 4 wickets against SRH. Axar Patel is consistent with his bowling. He plays his role well. Ishant Sharma also took wickets in every match he played.
