The Cricketer takes a look at the next fixture in the 2022 Indian Premier League season
Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League.
The game will be played on Monday, April 11. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30pm local time (3pm GMT).
The game will be held at DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai.
Gujarat Titans have made a remarkable start to their life as an IPL franchise, winning their opening three games.
They are the only side with a positive 100 per cent record at the start of the competition.
Fellow newcomers Lucknow Super Giants were their first victims in the opening round before they saw off Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.
Kings were beaten largely thanks to a brilliant 96 from Shubman Gill and 3 for 22 from Rashid Khan.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, albeit with a different roster at their disposal, have carried last season's form into the start of the 2021 campaign.
Two defeats at the start of the term to Rajasthan Royals and Super Giants extended a grim run that saw them win just two of their last 10 games the previous year to finish bottom of the pile.
But Kane Williamson's side did get themselves off the mark by beating Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets, thanks in part to 75 from Abhishek Sharma.

There was a lot of attention on the prospect of Shubman Gill leading the Titans this season, given his lack of leadership experience.
Alongside what has been a perfect start to the campaign, Gill has led from the front with the bat with two fifties following his three-ball duck.
After hitting 84 against Capitals he went to within four of a maiden T20 century after slapping a Kagiso Rabada full toss straight into the hands of Mayank Agarwal.
He'll likely come up against the highly-skilled Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who will take the new ball alongside Marca Jansen.
The 32-year-old has been a bright spark with the ball, with his three overs only going at an economy rate of 7.50.
