"We won a couple, we lost a couple. We are coming out and putting up good performances. It's going to be challenging for the guys but the team is in a good frame of mind. The guys had rest (during) last couple of days and everyone is fresh and ready to go," Warner told reporters on the eve of the game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad played their last game on April 30 in which they defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 15 runs.
"For us, it's about making sure that mentally we are ok, we are not exhausting ourselves. The guys had a little bit of training session yesterday. The guys bonded very well at resorts, some went for go-karting," he said.
Stating that Gujarat Lions are a strong side, Warner said Sunrisers Hyderabad need to make early inroads to contain the explosive batting line-up of the visitors.

"We have to contain them early. Whether we bat or ball first, it's all about first six overs and early wickets. For us as a batting unit, it is important not to lose too many wickets and for our bowlers it is important to get as many wickets as they can," he said.
"For us, it's about winning. If we keep winning, we are going to make it to the finals. We don't have to worry about what other teams do," he said.
Waarner said as a captain, he is open minded and always accessible to his teammates.
"My life becomes easy when the guys are doing their job. If I feel something is not in place, I talk to the players. My doors are always open to the players," he said.
