GT vs KKR: Gujarat Titans have played both matches exceptionally well and so the upcoming match against KKR is expected to go on the positive side.

Hardik Pandya is a confident captain and his selection of players for the matches till now has worked perfectly well.

Sai Sudarshan will be handling the middle order with Captain Pandya and David Miller and the middle order is looking safe too. Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia have added strength to this line-up.

Rashid Khan is the most important bowler in the squad, hence he needs to do his job well. The supporting players Yash Dayal and Alzarri Joseph need to give their best.

GT vs KKR: Nitish Rana’s team played exceptionally well last time against RCB and defeated them by a good score of 81 runs. After a poor performance in their first match against Punjab Kings, they surprised their fans. If they keep themselves on the same track, they can manage to win again against the Gujarat Titans.

GT vs KKR: Their top order seems to have potential with Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who played really well in the last match, and  Venkatesh Iyer will be partnering with him. Mandeep Singh and Rinku Singh will be playing in the middle order and they have to set a strong score to lead the team to win. With Andre Russell and Sunil Narine in the lineup, the batting was strong thanks to Shardul Thakur’s match-winning effort in the previous game.

Umesh Yadav and Tim Southee are the team’s best assets and they can strengthen the bowling department. Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, and other bowlers have to take wickets from strong batters from Gujarat Titans. Suyash Sharma can contribute his best and make the bowling game even stronger.
