GT vs PBKS Team News
Gujarat Titans Team News
The Gujarat Titans have star players like captain Shubman Gill, South African powerhouse David Miller, and Afghan spin wonder Rashid Khan. Still, Sai Sudharsan and Mohit Sharma have been the best for them so far in the 2024 IPL season.
Sudharsan has been the Titans' leading run scorer in each of their first three games, but he has yet to hit a half-century. However, his strike rate is currently the lowest among the top 25 run scorers, which raises concerns.
Mohit Sharma, who was selected as Player of the Match in the last game in Ahmedabad, poses a huge threat with his experienced speed variations, making him an important player to watch in the upcoming match.
GT Probable XI Against PBKS
Shubman Gill (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad.
Punjab Kings Team News
The Punjab Kings have a history of having difficulty qualifying for the postseason, and their current campaign may follow a similar path. Even though their chances of making the playoffs aren't certain, they have a strong lineup, with captain Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow starting the batting and Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran in the middle order. The team also has fast bowlers like Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada, both renowned in T20 cricket.
In contrast, Punjab lost to RCB in Match 6 and Lucknow Super Giants in Match 11. Playing in Ahmedabad presents a challenge that adds another level of difficulty. Punjab Kings will need to play at their very best if they want to have a chance of winning this match.
