GT Team News
Hardik Pandya announced an unchanged side ahead of Gujarat Titans’ victory over Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. With Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami in great form with the ball and Shubman Gill in good form with the bat, we do not anticipate any changes in this clash.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill - With an average of 40.57 from his seven innings in the IPL 2023, it has been another successful competition for the stylish right-handed batter.
- Mohammed Shami - The right-arm pace bowler was the most accurate of any on both sides in the win over Mumbai Indians. He conceded only 18 runs from his four overs.
- Rashid Khan - No bowler has taken more wickets in the tournament than the Afghanistan spinner and he is averaging a dismissal every 12 balls.
GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Josh Little, Dasun Shanaka, R Sai Kishore, KS Bharat, Shivam Mavi
Josh Little came into the team as a substitute in the last game and the Irish bowler is very accurate with his lines and length. Dasun Shanaka is a very powerful limited overs batter.

The Titans have played well throughout this campaign and have won three of their last four matches ahead of this game.

This should be an excellent contest with Kolkata Knight Riders looking to make it two wins in a row. With Jason Roy playing excellent attacking innings, he will be a key player and the longer he is at the crease the better chance Kolkata Knight Riders will have of winning the game.
