SRH vs GT: All Teams Are Looking And Thinking How Do We Beat Them': Matthew Hayden Picks 'Red Hot' Team Of IPL 2022

After analyzing the matches during the first 2 weeks of the IPL 2022 season, Australia great and former Chennai Super Kings batter Matthew Hayden picked the team to watch out for, hailing them as a “red hot” side.

Gujrat Titans The Team To Beat

Hayden feels that Gujrat Titans are the squad that each and every other side ought to be careful about after their unbeaten run of three straight games, despite the fact that they stand third attributable to their mediocre net run rate compared to table topper Rajasthan Royals and second-spot holder Kolkata Knight Riders.

Addressing Star Sports after Gujarat’s success against Punjab Kings last week, Hayden feels that the Hardik Pandya-drove side has shown a ton of up-sides during these three games.

“You can only play as good as your team. And they are right on the top of their game at the moment. Shubman Gill controlling the game at the top of the order. And of course their fast men as well, through the centre stage of this game as well.

All in all I feel, he is the bloke I feel at the moment that every other franchise will be looking and thinking…how are we going to defeat GT. They are really red hot,” he said.

“They have got lots of depth and lots of spirit in the side now that you win like that it just sends that dressing room sky high into excitement. This means you go to training fresh, ready to go. Imagine if you are Mumbai Indians or CSK at the moment, trying to get into the competition. GT, they are on.”

IPL 2022 So Far

20 games have already been played in the IPL 2022 and barring two, all eight other franchises have at least played four games this season. Five teams have bagged six points each with only Gujarat Titans being the only undefeated side, while two heavyweights of the tournament, CSK and MI are yet to open their accounts.

Gujarat Titans will be playing their fourth game this season, against 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are heading into the team on the back of an impressive win against CSK.
