GT vs SRH, IPL 2025 Match 51: Top Players to pick
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill has been in decent form for GT in the IPL without being overly consistent like some of his previous seasons in the IPL.
Prasidh Krishna: Prasidh Krishna is in the battle to win the Purple Cap in the IPL 2025 with his ability to take wickets in all kinds of situations with great consistency.
Travis Head: Travis Head hasn’t been quite as consistent for SRH like the previous season of the IPL, but he still manages to make an impact more often than not with the bat.
Harshal Patel: Harshal Patel is known to take a bag of wickets from time to time, and against a highly accomplished lineup, he could prove to be the difference-maker for SRH.
GT vs SRH, IPL 2025 Match 51: Players to avoid
Rahul Tewatia: With the super-strong batting lineup of GT ahead of him, Rahul Tewatia is more of an insurance policy for the side, which is why he can be avoided in the fantasy team.
Jaydev Unadkat: Jaydev Unadkat hasn’t quite shown his wicket-taking form from previous seasons of the IPL, and he is known to be quite an expensive bowler.
