“It is a special initiative to support cancer patients. This is just our way of showing our support,” GT skipper Pandya said at toss ahead of the 62nd match of the season. The Sunrisers meanwhile, opted to field after skipper Aiden Markram won the toss, with both teams making multiple changes to their lineups. While the ‘Orange Army’ decided to bring Marco Jansen back into their XI in place of Glenn Phillips, Gujarat drafted Sai Sudharsan, Yash Dayal and Dasun Shanaka into the team, with Sri Lanka captain Shanaka making his IPL debut. A victory for Gujarat would confirm their place in the IPL 2023 playoffs and effectively knock Hyderabad out. A win for the ninth-placed SRH, though, would keep them mathematically alive though they would still rely on a host of other results going their way for them to finish in the top four.
