RCB Key Players
- Faf du Plessis- the 38 year old has been in brilliant form this year and has now scored over 9300 T20 runs. He has hit half-centuries in each of this last three matches.
- Virat Kohli- the leading run scorer in IPL history joined Chris Gayle with six IPL centuries when he hit 100 runs from 63 balls in the last game.
- Mohammed Siraj- the right-arm pace bowler has been very effective in the powerplays this season and has taken 17 wickets in total.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Dinesh Karthik, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Himanshu Sharma, Suyash Prabhudessai, Kedar Jadhav
The experienced Dinesh Karthik has failed to deliver with the bat this season but he is still a talented finisher and could be brought into the team if required for that role. Vijaykumar has taken four wickets from his last two games.

GT Team News
Sri Lankan Dasun Shanaka made his Gujarat Titans debut in the last game as Sai Sudharsan also came into the team for the clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Although there will be a temptation to rest players, Gujarat Titans have benefited from playing many of the same players throughout the competition.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill- it has been a brilliant 2023 at international level and in the IPL for the opening batter. He has scores of 94 and 101 in his last three innings.
- Rashid Khan- the Afghanistan spinner is the joint top wicket taker in the tournament. Even on pitches where other spinners struggle, he manages to keep the runs down and to dismiss top batters.
