GT Team News & Playing 11
GT Team News
Hardik Pandya likes to keep things simple at Gujarat Titans and we do not expect him to make changes just for the sake of doing so. He is far more likely to select an unchanged XI once more and look to build up the confidence of his team-mates in this game.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill- although the right-handed opener made only 14 in the last match, he still caught the eye with some brilliantly time strokes.
- Alzarri Joseph- the West Indian pace bowler is a regular wicket taker across all formats and has already got four wickets in the IPL 2023.
- Rashid Khan- the Afghanistan leg-spinner was too good for Delhi Capitals’ middle order and picked up the wickets of Sarfaraz Khan, Amam Hakim Khan and Abishke Porel.
GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Josh Little, Jayant Yadav, Srikar Bharat, R Sai Kishore
Little has been selected for both games so far but may have to settle for an impact role on this batter-friendly pitch. Yadav is a consistent bowler who could be brought in if the pitch is slowing a little.
GT Team Form
Gujarat Titans have carried their strong form from the 2022 IPL into this campaign. They are looking to make it three wins from three games in the 2023 IPL in this match.

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijary Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami.
KKR Team News & Playing 11
KKR Team News
After beating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 81 runs on Thursday, confidence will be high in the Kolkata Knight Riders’ camp but we still expect to see at least one change. England’s Jason Roy has been signed as a replacement for Shreyas Iyer and Shakib Al Hasan and we predict he will be at the top of the order for this game.
KKR Key Players
- Rahmanulah Gurbaz- the Afghanistan keeper-batter was in strong form at the top of the order against Royal Challengers Bangalore hitting six fours and three sixes.
- Shardul Thakur- the Indian international all-rounder took the Player of the Match Award in the last game after hitting 68 runs from 29 balls and taking 1-15 with the ball.
- Varun Chakravarthy- the leg-spinner has already taken five wickets in the 2023 IPL and dismissed Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Harshal Patel and Akash Deep on Thursday.
KKR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Tim Southee, David Wiese, Suyash Sharma, Mandeep Singh
We expect Tim Southee to be left out of the team but he could well be a very useful impact player in this game. David Wiese could come in during their batting innings or in the field such is his talent.

KKR Team Form
Kolkata Knight Riders may have won by a large margin in their last match but they were over-reliant on two big innings with the bat and there are still concerns over their batting,
