Losing by 10 wickets in the first match of a long league, can damage your confidence and that could be it for the rest of the tournament. The challenge is to turn the tide like RCB did yesterday to win against Delhi Daredevils. But, what stands between that is Sunrisers Hyderabad, probably the most balanced outfit along with Kolkata Knight Riders.
For the Gujarat Lions sans Ravindra Jadeja it will be though for them to go a long way in the tournament. Brendon McCullum has not been in the best of form like their entire team. In this game coach Brad Hodge would be hoping everything comes together and they get the balance right up early into the league.
To find out it will happen or not tune in to Sony Max and Sony Six, you can also live stream it on Hotstar or catch the live updates on inUth.com.
