The 48th match of the IPL 2022 will feature Gujarat Titans taking on Punjab Kings on 3rd May at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.
GT is currently the table toppers with 8 wins in 9 matches while PBKS has won 4 matches out of 9 and they are at the 7th spot.
Both the teams will face each other for the 2nd time this season. In the 1st match, GT defeated PBKS by 6 wickets.
Hardik Pandya-led GT is going way too strong in comparison to other teams. They picked themselves so quickly after the first loss and never looked back again. One after one they defeated the teams and made their way to the top of the table.
Saha came in for Wade and has cemented his place in the playing 11 with his good form. Shubman Gill managed to score 31 runs in the last match after 3-4 bad innings. He is expected to bring his form back.
Skipper Hardik Pandya is looking pretty strong with the bat but didn’t score more than 10 in the last 2 matches.
David Miller and Rahul Tewatia were the stars of the match in the last match against RCB. They are the pillars of the GT’s middle-order.
Pradeep Sangwan played his first match and picked 2/19. He will be given more opportunities in the upcoming matches.
The 3 pacers Alzarri Joseph, Mohammad Shami and Lockie Ferguson are looking in confident form. Alzarri Joseph hasn’t gone wicket less in all the matches so far. Shami and Ferguson have picked 24 wickets.
Rashid Khan has shown his magic with the bat as well this season. One of the most reliable players.

Skipper Mayank Agarwal is in decent form but much more was expected from him while leading the team. Shikhar Dhawan smashed 88 runs off 59 balls against CSK.
Rajapaksa is back to the playing 11 and found a good spot for him.
Bairstow is trying to find his old school IPL form back but not able to get it yet while Livingstone is having a good season so far.
Rishi Dhawan has made a pretty good comeback to the IPL. He will get more opportunities to play.
Kagiso Rabada and Rahul Chahar are currently the top wicket takers of the team while Sandeep Sharma and Arshdeep Singh have fetched only 5 wickets in total but they are bowling at a good economy.
